I cried a tear, you wiped it dry当我流泪，你将它拭去

You gave me strength to stand-alone again你赐给我重新出发的力量

To face the world out on my own again让我能够独自面对世界

You put me high upon a pedestal你把我捧上了天

So high that I could almost see eternity让我几乎看见了永恒

You needed me, you needed me你需要我，你需要我

And I can't believe it's you我无法相信是你

I needed you and you were there我需要你时，你都在

And I'll never leave我永远不会离去

Why should I leave, I'd be a fool何需离去？像个傻子

Cause I've finally found someone who really cares因为我终於找到真正关心我的人

You held my hand when it was cold在寒冷中，你握住我的手

When I was lost you took me home当我迷失，你指引我归途

You gave me hope when I was at the end当我穷途末路，你赐给我希望

And turned my lies back into truth again将我的谎言再度变成真理

You even called me friend你甚至仍称我为朋友
