Counting On You
by John Michael Ray

You stake your life and your love
On someone so far away
Yet, I’m right under your nose
And I can offer today

It was so nice to talk
To come in from the cold
But when push came to shove
Your own issues took hold

Guess we were only friends
If your conditions were met
That my counting on you
Was no safe bet
I always thought that friends
Were two for one, one for two
Forgive me dear old friend
For counting on you

I needed help from a friend
In my days of despair
And when I called out your name
You were no longer there

It came out of the blue
Caused a downward slide
Can you imagine the shock
To see you right by her side

Guess we were only friends
If your conditions were met
That my counting on you
Was no safe bet
I always thought that friends
Were two for one, one for two
Forgive me dear old friend
For counting on you

We were two lost souls
You took me under your wing
I took you under mine
Felt like a real sure thing

But then the fangs came out
Felt things you weren’t meant to feel
It hurt to have to accept
Was a conditional deal

Guess we were only friends
If your conditions were met
That my counting on you
Was no safe bet
I always thought that friends
Were two for one, one for two
Forgive me dear old friend
For counting on you
