When you tell me ur hurting
When u say ur in pain
I wonder how I can help
I wonder why u rely on me
When I see u in a low
When I feel ur pain
I try my best to stay on top
But end in tears
When u fail to smile
And be ur happy self
I fight the pain
Of my breaking heart
When u tell me what u did
I fight the urge to
Freak out on u
When u say certain things
I’m ready to beat u down
But stop and love u instead
Why can’t u see
That I care for u
Why can’t you see
That I love
What the heck!
Why can’t you feel the
Falling of my heart?
Why can’t u see
The falling tears
It’s hard to understand
That u can’t grasp
The simple fact
That ur life
Would be so much
Without that
Drug of death!
Let it go!
I know what it does
And I’m oh so
Helpless when you do this
Please understand it’ll get
Worse before it gets better!
