I'm sorry I was gone when this started
Not my fault for that
But I feel like I wasn't there for you

I know life is tough
And escape is tempting
I do it myself

Wrong place
Wrong time
Don't know the details
Don't need to
Fact is
You succumbed and it got you

It brought you down
Almost everyone has turned their back
On you
And I know that pushes you down

But I am here for you
I know you
And I love you
I want good things to happen for you
I am forgiving and understand
What I can

Life isn't a bunch of ice cream cones
Or trips to the zoo
A long Sunday drive
A barbeque

Life is painful sometimes
Real painful
We all need an escape
A break from what's bringing us down
I get that

All I really want you to know
Is that I'm here for you

If you need someone to stop you
I can do that for you
If you need someone to talk to
I can do that for you
If you need to unload on someone
I am that person

Please
Let me be a point of light in the darkness
I can help you find your way if you're lost
And I will guide you back
