[Verse 1]
When you’re up, they come around,
Smiles and love, all over town.
But lose it all, fall to the floor —
See how many walk out the door.
[Chorus]
When you’re down, you find out who stays,
Who shows up, who walks away.
Not everyone’s real, not everyone stays —
But the true ones shine on the darkest days.
[Verse 2]
Empty hands, empty phone,
Feels like you’re standing all alone.
But one or two might still be near —
Those are the hearts that hold you dear.
[Chorus]
When you’re down, you find out who stays,
Who shows up, who walks away.
Not everyone’s real, not everyone stays —
But the true ones shine on the darkest days.
[Outro]
So thank God for the few who don’t run —
You don’t need many, just a faithful one.
