Remember when you told me there'd be days
When nothing ever seems to go your way
And no matter how hard you try,
You couldn't chase the blues away.
Remember when you told me there'd be days,
When all the skies would turn to gray.
You said you'd always be there for me all the way
I didn't think I needed you to help me through,
Didn't have a clue
I never took one step alone,
But now I know you'd do what only you can do.
When I'm barely getting by,
All I need is to see you smile.
Don't got to read between the lines 'Cause you're real with me, you're real with me.
Even on my darkest days,
I know it's gonna be okay.
'Cause I know you're gonna always stay, Stay real with me
I know I can always count on you, Whenever I need to hear the truth.
'Cause even if it hurts, You say the words you need to say.
Now that I know what you do for me, I don't know how to say how much it means.
That you don't want no pay, you're being my friend Unconditionally.
You gave me all that you could give, Show me how to love, how to live.
And though you tell me it's okay, I don't have to say,
I wanna thank you anyway.
When I'm barely getting by,
All I need is to see you smile.
Don't got to read between the lines 'Cause you're real with me, you're real with me.
Even on my darkest days,
I know it's gonna be okay.
'Cause I know you're gonna always stay, stay real with me
Maybe I don't tell you enough, but I'm here to stay.
I need you so damn much.
And if ever you find you're in despair.
Just like you're there for me, I'll be there. I'll be there.
When I'm barely getting by,
All I need is to see you smile.
Don't got to read between the lines 'Cause you're real with me, you're real with me.
Even on my darkest days,
I know it's gonna be okay.
'Cause I know you're gonna always stay, stay real with me.
When i'm barely getting by,
All I need is to see you smile.
Don't got to read between the lines 'Cause you're real with me, you're real with me.
Even on my darkest days,
I know it's gonna be okay.
'Cause I know you're gonna always stay, stay real with me.
Maybe I don't tell you enough, but I'm here to stay.
I need you so damn much.
And if ever you find you're in despair.
Just like you're there for me, I'll be there.
Stay real with me, and I'll stay real with you
Stay real with me, and I'll stay real with you
Stay real.
