We sometimes tend
To make the mistake
Of placing too much emphasis
On what a true friend is
Who's down
Just because a person hangs
Or speaks to you daily
Doesn't make them down
Pretty words said
Doesn't mean a person
Is down
A true friend
Treats you like
You treat them
There for you
Until death brings
It to an end
A true friend
Knows your secrets
And won't tell it
No matter how
Angry they get
If they do it
They won't down from
The get go
They won't leave
When there's trouble
They have your back
No matter if
The trouble doubles
A real friend
Is happy for you
On the outside
And show it with a smile
They're happy on the inside too
It's in their hearts
So that's how you know
Who's down
Cause they are the ones
That you never ever
Had to question
Not even once
