Friend, dear friend, I do this,
because you are my friend
What is the matter with your brain?
Does it not help you see?
Does it not help you learn?
O friend, I feel for you,
Do you feel for yourself?
Does it not help you love yourself?
Please friend, stand up, say no
Expel the pain from yourself
He doesn't need you
But most importantly, friend
You don't need him
Does it not help you hear?
Hear me friend, again
Look back into yourself
Deep into my friend
To see what's the matter
The matter with your brain
The brain matters, you matter, friend
When will the day come?
The day that you, my friend
Enjoy the thought of tomorrow
Laugh and smile, and embrace life
When, my friend?
I do this because you are my friend
But this is all I can do
It is... it's been your challenge
Challenge yourself, you are strong
O my friend, try yourself
Try smiling, try forgetting
Try trusting, try wanting
try caring for yourself
I feel I'm losing my friend
To something I've saved her from before
Don't let more pain in
Don't stop loving yourself
Don't waste yourself
Don't make me have to say this again
