You Taught Me To Fight*

"Don't take your problems with you
Just leave them where they lay
Forget about all of your troubles
And just enjoy today."

That was what you told me
And that is what I do
I didn't think I could get along
In this world without you

But strength is what you taught me
"Stand up and face the fight
We'll be in this, always, together"
And now I know you were right

You're with me when I'm lonely
You're with me when I'm scared
You're with me every minute of the day
I'll always know you cared

The way my tears fill my eyes
When I think of us apart
Start fading now, and I start to smile
You'll always be in my heart

A friendship, like ours, has faded away
And our differences clearly show
But I'll never forget what you made me learn
And I can finally let you go
