Al Loober - For A Friend [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Hey, sorry...
I'm not stupid, I know I'm the one you thought you'd
Forgotten, gotten over, but calm, I've not come to haunt you
All due respect, I debated much whether it would be profitable
To write you a note, author a poem, or drop it alone
Look all that I know's my heart's burdened, when I think about what I did my stomach starts turning
You must've left a scarred person
I'm sure you have some newly erected heart turrets
But I think I'm getting ahead, so let me start first with
I'm forever grateful you were there when I came to
That brave new school, I thank God and I thank you
I struggled to make new friends, but you appeared like an angel
I told you I was a rapper and you said, "Oh, wow, no way, cool!"
You reached out, took it on yourself to be my acceptance
If you didn't understand me, you at least tried to get it
You made efforts to connect with me and acted interested
Even when I was apprehensive and hesitant to reflect it
You were friendly, texted me, just saying hi
Opened your place to bide my time and told me I could stay the night
No one made you try to take the time to stabilize this shady guy
You were my waiting light... and that's mainly why

[Hook: Birdy]
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget you
You made things so easy
I'll never forget you

[Verse 2]
Third school in three years, in few have I gleaned peers
Truthfully, I didn't assume to meet any here
But you were prepared, I can't say it enough
You are the very reason that semester didn't suck
You probably say the opposite, honest with a modestness
You told me of enthrallment and the love that you had fallen in
I was caught within a plot twist, a rock or slightly softer hit
I could not resist, I took advantage of all of it
I wanted physical love just as much as the next monster did
This is not a hit and run, I had cravings and couldn't conquer them
You probably think you're just another broad I pinned up on my list
But I promise this: you're the one profession I could not predict
Independent, but caring, thoughtful and God-fearing
Cute, and those glasses I hope you never stop wearing
My feelings crossed and I didn't know which step to take
I couldn't keep you, but I couldn't let you get away
Now I could explain and make these vain excuses for days
But the effects of my sin and your viewpoint won't change
But if there's one truth you should take from this music I made
It's that I do care about you and how you're doing today

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel like a reverse King Midas
Every person I touch just burns and dries up
Turns to fine dust, how can I ask forgiveness
When if I so much as breathe, the breeze will take your ashes with it?
I can admit it, simple, I can't have commitments
We both (but mostly I) have made some bad decisions
But none was planned malicious, we acted as average kids did
Filling our holes with the emotional sand our sin digs
But there's more value in this friendship than can be written
It's not by chance we hit it off, God must've had intention
It's your life, I haven't lived it, but please don't keep the bitterness
These quick verses can't interpret how this all works for His purpose
And this verse is for anyone in my growth I've met
I've no regrets for every single moment spent
And though my emotions go against what I know is best
You're what I call my friends, so don't forget
