best friend Lyrics

I have a friend always by my side

Every day and every night

He's with me in every stride

So attentive so reliable so alive

I couldn't live without him now

I'm used to two not being a crowd

He knows everything about me

And he holds me when I fall asleep

My best friend will never leave

Whispers in my ear and helps me think

He washes my mind clean

And creates the version of life that I see

I have a friend, it's almost like

He's a part of me and I wonder why

I ever thought I knew more than him

He tells me how the world really is

Those days when I feel so small

I'm thankful for that voice he calls

To feel his weight wash over me

He's my blanket and I can't sleep

My best friend don't you see

I'll listen to every word you speak

He washes my mind clean

And he'll never detach from me

Sometimes I sit and think about

The girl that used to run through town

Laughing in the sparkling streets

Without a friend to guide her beliefs

Sometimes I sit and wonder how

He made me a part of him somehow

I've made peace I know he's there

Always in my head always in my ear

My best friend I know you see

I'm submissive to you endlessly

You wash my mind clean

I give up my freedom quietly
