For Theresa

My friend has been so good to me
Except when we were new
Not knowing any better then
And now it seems so true
When all was right and confident
But shattered at the start
Though since that time my friend's been there
To mend this broken heart

My friend has been so good to me
Though hard to see that truth
Because in the beginning
Things got muddled in our youth
When all was hope and truthfulness
But shattered at the start
Though since that time my friend's been there
To mend this broken heart

My friend has been so good to me
But I've had such before
It's hard to have the faithfulness
To keep me from the door
When this time it was different
But shattered at the start
Though since that time my friend's been there
To mend this broken heart

My friend has been so good to me
And still she sees it through
I struggle in my fearfulness
But what else can I do
When now I know that it is real
But shattered at the start
And even now my friend's been there
To mend this broken heart

So now I'll pay my debt to her
Because she sees it through
I pay the price of past mistakes
But what else can I do
When I can see that I should trust
Though shattered at the start
I will not lose my friend- still there
To mend this broken heart.
