I don't know how to say this,
I don't want it to come out wrong,
I just want to let you know...
Well this might be kind of long.
I've known you for so many years now
And I really want to just say thanks
For giving me a lasting friendship...
For giving me something that can't be replaced
I remember sixth grade, seventh...eighth and ninth...all of it feels like a dream now
All of it just passed me by
We've always been partners in crime
If something goes wrong we both take the blame
It's like all of this has been one big party, it's all been one big game.
You've always had my back, in time that I've needed you the most
I've always had yours too,
Without you in my life, I honestly wouldn't know what to do.
You've become a part of my family
And yours has learned to deal with me
And if we just hold on for three more years, we'll bust out, we'll be free!
I remember that dark cold morning
When the phone rang in my room
I answered it at 6 A.M.
Not knowing it had to do with you
She said you were in the hospital
And my head spun around and around
I sat there lost and lonely, crying on the ground
She said that you wanted me
That I needed to come, immediately
When I got there they all explained the night before
How you took all of those pills
Then you just shut the door
There was no note, no good-bye
You shed not one tear, you didn't cry
But the doctors said that you were fine
There was some permanent damage
But you're alive.
I just want to thank you, for staying here with me
For never stealing my boyfriends, for listening
For trying to hook me up, with every guy I think is cute
For helping me with my homework...even when you don't know what to do.
For helping me live my life, even if I get grounded for three months
For showing me unconditional, friendship love.
Three more years...and we'll get out
Three more years, there's no more doubt.
