I remember feeling weightless the first time you smiled
You looked at me afraid you were on tried
Everyone's felt rejected, had a dream disconnected
It's your choice you know, you can break or you can bend
And sometimes pain can be your only friend

You're apologizing for yourself once again
Don't be foolish, love is the beginning, not the end
Everybody's felt taken, been abused and left shaken
All you see are clouds but the sun will shine again
Sometimes pain can be your only friend

Fear, it can strangle you
Till you don't know who you are
Love can untangle you and take you far
Like a dream, you can disappear
And never return again
And I know you can take a chance
Everybody needs a friend
It's so hard these days to find a friend

Now I know you're confused with your life, so am I
There are no solutions if you never try
Everybody's felt scattered, had their confidence shattered
You gotta pick up the pieces and start all over again
And sometimes pain can be your only friend

Fear, it can strangle you
Till you don't know who you are
Love can untangle you and take you far
Like a dream, you can disappear
And never return again
Come to me, you can take a chance
Everybody needs a friend
It's so hard these days to find a friend
