Hey girl we've been friends for so long

And I've always been your shoulder when you cried
Highlighting the speaker's role as a supportive figure during times of sadness for the listener.
Now your asking how to end your heartache
Acknowledging the listener's current emotional struggle and desire to end heartache.
I'm telling your right now take my advice
Advising the listener to take the speaker's counsel seriously.
If I were you then I'd love me forever
Imagining oneself in the listener's position, suggesting a shift in perspective.
And I'd be here in these arms where you belong
Expressing the hypothetical scenario of the speaker loving the listener forever.
And I'd spend my life being happy
Describing a commitment to being present and providing emotional support.
If I were you I'd hold me from now on
Encouraging the idea that, if the speaker were the listener, holding on to the speaker would lead to happiness.
There's no point in taking chances
Discouraging risky decisions and emphasizing the importance of reliability in a partner.
You want someone you know will always stay

I've always been here when you've needed someone

To help you make it through your darkest days

If I were you then I'd love me forever
