No matter what I can't forget
what I did before
I didn't think straight
I didn't wanna be here anymore

The days just intertwined
among one another
I didn't act like a friend
I didn't want to bother

Because I thought I knew
that deep down, if I did
I would just get hurt
by the people I thought were my friends

But now I can see
that I was so wrong
the ones I was afraid of getting hurt by
are the ones that stayed near all along

I said things I didn't mean to
I didn't know what I was saying
I shunned my true friends
because it was a different side of me that was staying

My heart staining with tears
I pushed my friends away, didn't want their help
I pushed and pushed until they were gone
then I realized I had no one else

I came back to them
even though they had never gone
I begged for their forgiveness
and they said they'd never leave me alone

They were always there
standing by my side
I just didn't see them
because I thought from them I could hide

When I turned around, I saw them
the way they waited so kindly for me
to guide me down the right path
they waited so long for me to find my reality

I told my heart but I didn't want anyone to know
I wasn't alone, but I needed a friend
I wasn't scared but I needed a hero
I wasn't at the begining, but I certainly wasn't at the end

I could have ended it if I wanted
but some how I knew I could make it through
I needed to break free and stay with my friends,
someone who to trust, someone who knew

I was so confused and lost
I wanted to cry but I couldn't
I was alone and stuck in life
I wanted to die but I shouldn't

I was consumed into a darkness
into cold lonely places
I walked in a circle, never going anywhere
yet when I could walk straight, I saw friendly faces

Like going down a mountain, a hill
life just brought me farther and farther down
I let it pull me deeper into the dark
I wouldn't make a sound

I was walking down a darkened path
The blood on my wrist
Through the darkness and tears
I couldn't resist

I tried and tried
but I couldn't make it without
breaking down completely
wanting to shout

I held it all inside of me
I knew I shouldn't
I tried to let it out
but no matter what I couldn't

It got unbearable
torturing me day after day
I had to find how to get free
I needed a way

Then I saw, a second before it being too late,
that the whole time, the answer was right next to me
my friends standing by
waiting to set me free..
