My best friend

Låttext

Verse 1 I still remember being small, walking half a step behind you. You never had to say too much, somehow I always understood you. The world felt quiet by your side, like nothing bad could reach me there. And every road I followed then felt easy knowing you were near. Verse 2 There were days beneath an open sky, with endless hours passing slowly. I watched your hands, I watched your eyes, and thought I knew you completely. You showed me more than words could teach, in every little thing you did. And somewhere in those simple days, you became my closest friend. Chorus You were more than someone I looked up to, more than a name inside my family tree. You were the steady hand beside me, the place where I could always be. And though I cannot hear your voice now, or see you standing next to me, every part of who I am still carries part of you with me. Verse 3 I remember worn and weathered hands, turning simple things to something stronger. I tried to follow every move, even when it took me longer. Nothing had to be perfect then, we never really cared about that. It was never what we left behind, it was every moment that we had. Verse 4 And then there came a quieter day, one we knew would change us all forever. We stood close around you there, holding on to one another. No one wanted to say goodbye, but no one let you face it alone. We stayed with you until the end, before you finally went home. Chorus You were more than someone I looked up to, more than a name inside my family tree. You were the steady hand beside me, the place where I could always be. And though I cannot hear your voice now, or see you standing next to me, every part of who I am still carries part of you with me. Bridge Sometimes the smallest things return you, a sound, a smell, a certain view. And suddenly the years disappear, and I am standing there with you. For just a second nothing changed, and time has given back what it stole. Then the moment fades away, but you never really go. Final Chorus You were more than someone I looked up to, you were the best friend I could ever need. You gave me memories I will carry long after everything else leaves. And though I had to let you go, you are not gone from who I’ll be. Every road I walk from here will have a little part of you with me. Outro So when the world becomes too quiet, and I find myself looking back, I won’t only think about losing you. I’ll remember everything we had. And somewhere deep inside me, I’ll always be that boy again, walking right there beside you, with my grandfather, and my best friend.
