I was the girl who caught you and
I was the girl who saw you fall down
I broke the door down and I saw it all
I miss the year we spent apart now
I got your card
I heard from someone you made a new start,
A new start
How will you make yourself beautiful to me
How many people does it take to make you shine
How many men to say you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
Look at the roof over your head now
Into another city
Hold out only for the one who leads you so far and
Forget the expectations now
Forget I ever said a word
Keep only the obligations to your hope and to your fear
How will you make yourself beautiful to me
How many people does it take to make you shine
How many men to say you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
you're a friend of mine
You were the girl who caught my eye
Only eventually,
Finally realizing it would never be
Forget the expectations now
You want me to hold the bar
measure of your frustration,
Until your wounds become a scar
How will you make yourself beautiful to me
How many people does it take to make you shine
How many men to say you're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
You're a friend of mine
