When the music won’t play
I’ll be there for you
When the words just won’t come
I’ll be there then, too
When all you can hear
Is your own heart beat
Mine will be there
The two, one complete
When you’re all alone
Staring at the walls
I’ll come to you
All you must do is call
All I ask in return
Is that you do the same
I don’t want a big party
Don’t want you to feel shame
We all need compassion
Every once in a while
So wipe off those tears
And give me a smile

Four years past
Still crying
Normal reactions
Why’s it feel wrong?
Should be over it
Yeah, right
Like that’ll happen
People say it will
People lie
Never happen
Years from now
Time comes
I’ll cry

They tease me and they taunt me
They don’t see what I see
They don’t know what I know
And they don’t seem to care

They laugh at me and smile
I ignore them all the while
It’s hard not to laugh at the stupid things
I’m not really all that mad

They completely and totally ignore me
I’m nothing but a mockery
But when I do the same to them
It’s wrong and they call me mean

They tease me and they taunt me
They don’t see what I see
They don’t know what I know
But now they don’t need to care

I sit there crying like a baby
Wishing it would all just leave
I wait, watching, lost and lonely
I guess I don’t want to believe
They all keep saying, “I am so sorry.”
But I am not quite sure for what
I keep waiting for him to come home safely
But I have a bad feeling deep in my gut
I know he’s gone, down deep inside
I just wasn’t ready for something like this
You never expect it could happen to you
And then you realize how much you’ll miss
Life’s too short to waste away
Tell those people how you feel
Otherwise it may be too late
The end of life is very real

I listen to their problems
I tell them some of mine
I hear them confidentially
I listen to the whine
I help them without knowing
I do it without thinking
I ask them many questions
I realize that they’re sinking
I try to save them, but
I know they’ll do it on their own
I try to keep them talking
I think I’ve finally shown
That they have no real problems
That it’s all in their own mind
But I keep on listening
It’s for themselves to find

Dark
Dark down
Dark down
In the depths

You
Will die
You will die
A slow death

Watch/I
Watch your/I wish
Watch your/I wish
Watch your back/You the best

For you
Will die
Tonight

I didn’t expect to fall in love
At the age of just sixteen
May there is something above
That’s watching over me

I didn’t expect to fall so fast
When I did, I screamed
I truly didn’t expect it to last
But he fell too, it seemed

And when he said those three sweet words
I could not hold back for long
And when I gave him my first kiss
I swear I heard a sweet, sweet song

No matter what he tells me
No matter our past scars
This is really meant to be
For a man CAN change his stars
