Metaphor of Friendship - Opera Remix

[Intro] You found me in the dark, When I was hiding from the world. You didn't ask me why... You simply stayed. [Verse 1] We used to run beneath the rain, Two little ghosts without a name, Drawing kingdoms on the walls, Building castles out of broken dolls. You knew the secrets I would hide, The little monsters trapped inside, And when I couldn't face the day, You'd take my hand and lead the way. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe friendship isn't something You can hold or understand, Maybe it's the quiet promise Of a never-empty hand. [Chorus] You are the shape of friendship, The shadow standing next to mine, When every other light is fading, You are the reason I still shine. You are the shape of friendship, A little shelter from the rain, Even when the world forgets us, I will remember your name. [Verse 2] We grew apart, then found our way, Through different nights and different days, Somewhere between the then and now, We lost the words but not somehow. The years were turning like a wheel, Changing everything we used to feel, But underneath the dust and time, Your hand was still reaching for mine. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe people come and vanish, Maybe nothing stays the same, But some memories keep breathing When you whisper someone's name. [Chorus] You are the shape of friendship, The shadow standing next to mine, When every other light is fading, You are the reason I still shine. You are the shape of friendship, A little shelter from the rain, Even when the world forgets us, I will remember your name. [Build] If I fall— Will you find me? If I disappear— Will you remember? If the whole world turns away— Will you stay? Stay... Stay... Stay with me... [Instrumental Solo] [Ah-ah-ah...] [Ah-ah-ah...] [La-ra-la... la-ra-la...] [Breakdown] When the lights go out— I'll know your face. When the voices fade— I'll know your name. When everything we built Falls into the rain... I'll still be here. I'll still be here. I'll still be here. [Bridge] Maybe we're only passing through, Maybe the years will bury you, Maybe someday we'll lose the road And carry different hearts back home. But if I ever see that place, The old abandoned hiding place, I'll leave a little light behind... Just in case you're looking for mine. [Final Build] We were children once... We were strangers once... Now every scar and every dream Still carries something in between. [Final Chorus] You are the shape of friendship, The shadow standing next to mine, When every other light is fading, You are the reason I still shine. You are the shape of friendship, A little shelter from the rain, Even if the years erase us, I will remember your name. You are the shape of friendship, And if tomorrow comes too soon, I'll leave a light beside the window So you'll always find your way home. [Outro] You found me in the dark... And you stayed. [soft whisper] That's what friendship means.
