True Friends (feat. Roseanna)

Friendship is such a beautiful thing It's something that we seek To find in everyday life We can be searching for years To find the friends that will cherish us The friends that will always support us The ones that we can always turn to When we're in need of comfort The ones that will always encourage us Always striving to find those friendships with meaning Just like my family These friendships matter to me The ones that count for the most People that I hold dear The friends that I value The friends that I treasure I will never let them go They'll always mean so much to me They'll always share a part in my life Got no time for the fakes That will lie to my face And say that they've got my back Don't even get me started on the snakes That stab me in the back And act like they'd done nothing wrong I got real friends That appreciate the person that I am That's why I'm so grateful For the true ones that have entered my life And helped me to love myself and acknowledge That I'm blessed for who I am That I'm doing all I can To live my life to the full And never stop caring about others Regardless of whether I'm a fan They say to me 'Joel keep being you, it's what makes you a better man' I ain't got the time for fake friends Only got the time for real, real friends I ain't got the time for fake friends Only got the time for real, real friends I've been through some hard times That I struggled to cope with Thinking that I was all alone With no one to turn to But my friends were there Looking out for me and guiding me When I thought that all was lost They told me to never give up When life gets tough They said 'Joel don't you run' I'm talking about that love You know it's real when your friends Help you keep your head up And do everything that they can To provide you with a sense of alleviation From my point of view That's more than a mere consolation I'm touched to know That I got people that care About me and my feelings And people who keep me in check When I cross the line This is such a life lesson Discovering who your true friends are I find it deeply humbling to know That I got friends who will never neglect me During my time of need That's why I'm writing this song To acknowledge what my friends have done for me And to let them know That I'll do anything for them In their times of need My friends are a huge part of me They bring out the very best in me They'll always have a place In my heart when it comes to loving unlimitedly I ain't got the time for fake friends Only got the time for real, real friends I ain't got the time for fake friends I've only got the time for real, real friends
