Even if you were a sailor, if you were a traitor, if you were a liar, if you were on fire
If you asked a question that I couldn’t answer, if you told me actually you were a dancer
If you’d made a mess and you’d hurt all around you, I’d stick by your side even if I’d resent you, if you’d turn out different than I had imagined, I’d still be your friend, all till the end
And I won’t let you I couldn’t let you I wouldn’t ever let you down
No I, I won’t let you I couldn’t let you I wouldn’t ever let you down no
Not even if you’d exist
Even if no-one around here could understand you, I’d try to relate to the words that you bend
I’d try to align with your viewpoints your reasons, your insane denial and your complete delusions
I couldn’t care less if they all thought you crazy, they all thought you lazy, I’d make up my own mind, Oh bless for your you-ness, the truth is your greatness is so underrated
And I won’t let you I couldn’t let you I wouldn’t ever let you down
No I, I won’t let you I couldn’t let you I wouldn’t ever let you down no
Not even if you’d exist
Maybe if I could have known you, I wouldn’t be lonely, we’d walk down the lanes and we’d talk about everything we never told anyone, we’d share all our secrets, we’d have all the world of fun
Sharing the brightness, sharing the darkness that hides out in our minds, ‘cause you’d understand me and I’d understand you, and you’d be my best friend, and you’d never leave me
You’d never leave me out in the cold
Oh how I wish, you’d exist
How I wish, you’d exist
