When I was just a little boy
You were closer than my breath
It wasn′t hard to hear Your voice
You held my hand with every step
You haven't left me yet

And after all this time, You′re still holding me
You've proven all of my life, You're watching over me
When I was stumbling in the dark
You′re the one who took the scars
And I could try, but I would never comprehend
This kind of love that goes to hell and back again
My closest friend
My closest friend

Admit I got a little lost
Tried to go it on my own
Sometimes I felt about a million miles away from You
I was never once alone

And after all this time, You′re still holding me
You've proven all of my life, You′re watching over me
When I was stumbling in the dark
You're the one who took the scars
And I could try, but I would never comprehend
This kind of love that goes to hell and back again

So show me a greater kindness
Can′t find it, it's impossible
Show me a love more constant
Be honest, it′s unstoppable
Show me a friend more faithful
I'm so grateful, it's a miracle
That You haven′t left, no, You haven′t left me yet

And after all this time, You're still holding me
You′ve proven all of my life, You're watching over me
When I was stumbling through the dark
You′re the one who took the scars
And I could try, but I would never comprehend
This kind of love that goes to hell and back again
My closest friend
My closest friend
My closest friend
My closest friend
