[Verse 1] Be my best friend I don't need a perfect answer I don't need you to fix my heart I just need somebody beside me when everything falls apart [Verse 2] I've got stories I never tell They'll pins I hide so well And sometimes I love too loudly Just so nobody asks if I'm okay [Chorus] Would you stay when I'm crying Would you notice when I'm not When I say I'm doing fine Would you look me in the eyes [Verse 3] Be my best friend Even when I'm hard to understand Be my best friend To let go of my shaking hands I don't need forever I just need tonight Someone who'll disappear When I turn off all the lights [Verse 4] We could talk until the morning About nothing and everything You could tell me all your problems I'll pretend I've got the answers [Chorus] And if someday we go distant If our lives go different ways I hope you'll remember How we made it through those days Would you stay when I'm crying Would you sit with me in silence When I told the one thing Would you still call me your friend [Verse 5] Be my best friend Even when I'm hard to understand Be my best friend To let go of my shaking hands I don't need forever I just need tonight Someone who'll disappear When I turn off all the lights [Bridge] Maybe I'm asking for too much Maybe I'm scared you'll say goodbye But I've spent so long pretending I don't need anybody in my life So if you're still here If you're listening If you really mean it When you say my name And you promise me one little thing Don't let this friendship fade away [Chorus] Would you stay when I'm crying Would you sit with me in silence When I told the one thing Would you still call me your friend Be my best friend Just because you wanted anyway And if the whole world changes If we lose our way Somehow I'll still be grateful That you were my best friend now [Outro] Be my best friend That's all I'm asking from you Be my best friend I'll be there for you too No perfect ending And no promises to keep Just two people choosing Not to leave or to keep Be my best friend That's all I'm asking from you Be my best friend I'll be there for you too No perfect ending And no promises to keep Just two people choosing Not to leave or to keep
