What It Means To Be A Friend Allie Trimm

[PATRICE]
A friend’s not a cheap little phony creep
Or a jerk trying to make a deal
A friend is a person who, most of all
Cares about what you feel
And nothing is harder
Than learning a friend isn't real

A friend sends notes back and forth all day
And doesn’t care that you can't spell
A friend knows you’ve got a crush on your teacher
But a friend would never tell
A friend's outside waiting
The minute you both hear the bell

And if your heart is always breaking
'Cause the world is just not fair
When you’re at your worst
Your friend’s the first one there

Giving you something to lean on –
And that’s what it means to be a friend

A friend won't smoke when she’s in your room
Or laugh at the poems you write
A friend won't go and start kissing your brother
The minute that you're out of sight
A friend is the person
You call sixteen times ev'ry night
