Friend

I see your pain

I can feel your hurt

I can see through the wall you've bulit

This wall you use to keep people out

Why can't you lean on me

Trust me for once

And if not me

Maybe someone else

Friend

Can't you see

When you do the things you do

Say the things you say

That you're not just hurting you

But you're also hurting me

Please, my friend

Let me see into your world

Take down your precious shield

And step outside your hidden circle

Erase your fake smile

It's ok

You can cry

Stop telling people that you don't care

Stop pretending it's all right

Take a step, my friend

Take a step into the light

I've been here for so long

You've helped me through so much

We've had our share of memories

Of which we've learned a lot

I want to help you

Lead you out

Listen to your thoughts

But I can't

Don't you see

I'm behind your wall

I want to take your hand

And help you through it all

I want to shield you from the storm

And be there when you fall

My friend

I love you with all my heart

I guess you cannot see

What you mean to the world

What you mean to me

So I'll stay by your side

Waiting for you to need a friend

I'll stay by your side

Until the very end

Wishing

Hoping

For that day

The day you let me in
