True Friends On One Hand

My parents told me once
Count them on one hand
I laughed it off back then
I didn't understand

We don't talk every day
Barely make a plan
Still when my world shakes
You reach for my hand

You know my wins
You know my scars
Miles between
But never far

True friends, true friends
Always here, always here
True friends, true friends
Close through every tear
True friends, true friends
You don't disappear
Siblings life gave
You stay near

You held my quiet nights
Heard what I can't say
When the room turned cold
You lit up my way

We don't count our money
We don't count our grades
No need to pretend
The bond just stays brave

You know my laugh
You know my cry
Know my lost
And know my why

True friends, true friends
Always here, always here
True friends, true friends
Close through every tear
True friends, true friends
You don't disappear
Siblings life gave
You stay near

Storms hit hard
Still you stood
Through shattered dreams
You turned it good

From worlds away
You cheered me on
When we meet again
It's like no time's gone

True friends, true friends
Always here, always here
True friends, true friends
Close through every tear
True friends, true friends
You don't disappear
Siblings life gave
You stay near

True friends, true friends
Count on one hand
Thank you for you
You're my chosen band
