I never have to wonder
If you'll always be there.
You're one of those people
I know will always care.
Remember when she left me?
Remember when I broke down?
I remember, I remember
'Cause you still stuck around.
You held me when I cried.
You talked even though I didn't.
And when I did you listened,
You understood.
You didn't call my crazy when
I babbled on and on
About my suicidal thoughts.
You carried me through the dark
Days when I'd fallen down.
Like that one time back
In April when you helped me
Off the ground.
I remember, I remember
'Cause you stuck around.
You listened when I told
You about the night before.
You hugged me and
You told me that I'll
Survive the storm.
"You're so strong
I wish you could see
What I see in you."
I wish, I wish
I wish I could too.
And I also wish you
Could see, could see
What I see in you.
And I never have to wonder
If you'll always be there.
You're one of those people
I know will always care.
