I Will
Dia Frampton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's hard to find the song of your soul
Just remember how you helped me start believing
Anytime you're feeling down, I hope you know
Who's gonna always have your back
Whose gonna be a friend like that
I will, I will
Remind you life ain't all that bad
I will, I will, yeah yeah
If you're feeling like the queen of nothing's working
And you question every choice you make
When you're sick and tired of being so uncertain
And everything you thought was right is lost along the way
Who's gonna always have your back
Whose gonna be a friend like that
I will, I will
Who's gonna try to make you laugh
Remind you life ain't all that bad
I will, I will
Anytime, anyplace, I don't care
No questions, no judgements, I'll be there
When all your wells are running dry
And nothing's really going right
Who's gonna help you fight the fight
I will
Who's gonna always have your back
Whose gonna be a friend like that
I will, I will
Who's gonna try to make you laugh
Remind you life ain't all that bad
I will, I will, yeah yeah
I will, I will, yeah yeah
I will, I will
