I want to hold you
I want to reach in your soul and take all your pain
Just like I told you
I want to cool off your burns like sweet summer rain

I want your scars
I want to wipe them away like the tears on your face
And give you stars
For the time you've been hurt that I cannot erase

When you speak
The words that you say burn ash in my soul
And I seek
In my mind for the pieces that might make you whole

When you sigh
It feels like a whip lashing out at my heart
And I cry
For the pain in your silence as you break apart

You are bleeding
Both out through your flesh and under your skin
And you're needing
So many things to find peace from with in

I realize
I'm empty inside, save the love that I've kept
On the inside
For you in the joys and the tears that I've wept

I would walk
Through heaven and hell and fire and rain
And I'd stalk
The angels and Satan to relieve your pain

Because I'm your friend
Because I love you
