I'm not the easiest person to love I'm often the one who lets things go unresolved Yet you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me Yet you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me I'm not too proud of some things I've done in my life The skeletons in my closet are too big for me to hide Yet you choose to be on the side of me, on the side of me Blessed charity, you're on the side of me, on the side of me Everyone needs a friend to hold when it's cold outside, and there's no place to go Everyone needs a friend to hold All alone I cried there was no place to go I remember when nobody cared but you I'm not the easiest person to love But you opened your heart and show me what I'm worth Cos you choose to be on the side of me, on the side of me What a mystery, you're on the side of me, on the side of me Everyone needs a friend to hold when it's cold outside, and there's no place to go Everyone needs a friend to hold All alone I cried there was no place to go I remember when nobody cared I remember when nobody cared but you Cos you choose to be, on the side of me, on the side of me
