Best Friend
It’s two a.m. and I’m tossing around in my bed
 I wake her up to cry about a boy
 She tells me I’m beautiful and my insecurities are all in my head
 Because I’m far too good to be his next toy
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s my birthday and she’s the first to sing
 I take her to the movies and then we stuff or mouths full
 She makes me laugh while we wonder what this year will bring
 No minute spent with her is ever dull
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s the start of school and things are rough
 No matter what I do my parents aren’t please
 But she’ll study with me so the tests seem less tough 
 Then she’ll smile and for a moment the stress is eased
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s her birthday and I can’t be there
 I feel like I’m never there for her like she is for me
 She has tears in her eyes but she promises she doesn’t care
 So I just hold her and tell her that I’m so sorry
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s spring break and things are worse
 Home is a battlefield and it’s love that I lack
 He’s talking to another girl and everything he says just hurts
 But she holds my hand and the good memories swarm back
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s the end of the day when I find her crying
 She pulls me close to tell me the news
 She says she’s moving and at first I think she’s lying
 But it’s true and I feel like she’s given me a bruise
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s our last few months together and I try to make it the best
 We giggle over boys and dance to our favorite song
 We hand out and all our worries are put to a rest
 We feel giddy but we know it won’t last long
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s the close of the year and we’re running out of time
 We try so hard not to think about goodbye
 Because life without her should be named a crime
 But our glory days are gone and all we can do is sigh
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s two a.m. and I’m still wide awake
 Thinking that without my best friend nothing will be the same
 She calls me up and it’s a long night in the make
 I tell her everything without her will be lame
 And we’ll talk for hours
 
 It’s down to the last minute and I’m holding her tight
 I tell her I love her and put my hand over he heart
 Our friendship will always be there burning bright
 But now the time has come for us to part
 And there’s no more hours left for us to talk
