Nyla

I was just a sophomore, you a junior back then

Thank God that Jillian introduced me to my friend

Suddenly we're hanging out, every single day

Swinging rackets on the court, letting badminton play

We never took it serious, just laughing out loud

You gave me a safe place away from the crowd

Nyla, you're the one who stayed right by my side

When the shadows fell and I just wanted to hide

Through my darkest time, you were patient and kind

The sweetest type of caring that a person could find

Yeah, you held me in the light

Making sure my heavy heart was alright

Lost inside a stack of books or grabbing your favorite food

Pointing out the cute things, always lightening the mood

I know you love to hit the bed and catch up on your sleep

But you never sleep on the promises we keep

You're funny and unserious, but your spirit runs deep

A beautiful friendship I'm so lucky to keep

Nyla, you're the one who stayed right by my side

When the shadows fell and I just wanted to hide

Through my darkest time, you were patient and kind

The sweetest type of caring that a person could find

Yeah, you held me in the light

Making sure my heavy heart was alright

I know you get stubborn, yeah, you dig in your heels

But I wouldn't change a fraction of the way that it feels

'Cause no matter how stubborn you decide to be

I'll be standing with you, like you stood by me

Yeah, I'm staying with you, unconditionally

Nyla, you're the one who stayed right by my side

When the shadows fell and I just wanted to hide

Through my darkest time, you were patient and kind

The sweetest type of caring that a person could find

Yeah, you held me in the light

Nyla, I'll be by your side for life
