Friend (A Quarantine Collaboration)

I know I'm in Your presence now and I know that You said You'd never leave me You said You'd never leave I know that the road behind me is one that I don't ever want to remember But You're helping me remember That You, that You have always been there Through every falling tear and every whispered prayer 'Cos You laid your hand upon my shoulder When I'm down You pull me closer You've been the friend at the table when there is no one else And through, through it all You've stayed right with me In my fears and my misgivings Oh my life's OK when I hear You say that You're here with me right now So I'll let my pride and cynicism forget That they used to be my shelter my parasitic helper Because I see now I've been afraid to be loved Because it means you're really see me you see through all my dealings And in all my people pleasing oh I can't deny this feeling That I'm the only one deceived and all you wanted was for me to just be me 'Cos You laid your hand upon my shoulder When I'm down You pull me closer You've been the friend at the table when there is no one else And through, through it all You've stayed right with me In my fears and my misgivings Oh my life's OK when I hear You say that You're here with me right now You're here with me right now
