For A Friend

[Verse 1] Hey, sorry... I'm not stupid, I know I'm the one you thought you'd Forgotten, gotten over, but calm, I've not come to haunt you All due respect, I debated much whether it would be profitable To write you a note, author a poem, or drop it alone Look all that I know's my heart's burdened, when I think about what I did my stomach starts turning You must've left a scarred person I'm sure you have some newly erected heart turrets But I think I'm getting ahead, so let me start first with I'm forever grateful you were there when I came to That brave new school, I thank God and I thank you I struggled to make new friends, but you appeared like an angel I told you I was a rapper and you said, "Oh, wow, no way, cool!" You reached out, took it on yourself to be my acceptance If you didn't understand me, you at least tried to get it You made efforts to connect with me and acted interested Even when I was apprehensive and hesitant to reflect it You were friendly, texted me, just saying hi Opened your place to bide my time and told me I could stay the night No one made you try to take the time to stabilize this shady guy You were my waiting light... and that's mainly why [Hook: Birdy] I'll never forget you I'll never forget you You made things so easy I'll never forget you [Verse 2] Third school in three years, in few have I gleaned peers Truthfully, I didn't assume to meet any here But you were prepared, I can't say it enough You are the very reason that semester didn't suck You probably say the opposite, honest with a modestness You told me of enthrallment and the love that you had fallen in I was caught within a plot twist, a rock or slightly softer hit I could not resist, I took advantage of all of it I wanted physical love just as much as the next monster did This is not a hit and run, I had cravings and couldn't conquer them You probably think you're just another broad I pinned up on my list But I promise this: you're the one profession I could not predict Independent, but caring, thoughtful and God-fearing Cute, and those glasses I hope you never stop wearing My feelings crossed and I didn't know which step to take I couldn't keep you, but I couldn't let you get away Now I could explain and make these vain excuses for days But the effects of my sin and your viewpoint won't change But if there's one truth you should take from this music I made It's that I do care about you and how you're doing today [Verse 3] Sometimes I feel like a reverse King Midas Every person I touch just burns and dries up Turns to fine dust, how can I ask forgiveness When if I so much as breathe, the breeze will take your ashes with it? I can admit it, simple, I can't have commitments We both (but mostly I) have made some bad decisions But none was planned malicious, we acted as average kids did Filling our holes with the emotional sand our sin digs But there's more value in this friendship than can be written It's not by chance we hit it off, God must've had intention It's your life, I haven't lived it, but please don't keep the bitterness These quick verses can't interpret how this all works for His purpose And this verse is for anyone in my growth I've met I've no regrets for every single moment spent And though my emotions go against what I know is best You're what I call my friends, so don't forget
