I see the pain hidden behind your smiles
I know you've been hurting for quite a while
You don't want to speak because you think nobody cares
You don't want to be called weak, is that your fear?
Every night, you can't help but soak your pillow with tears
In the morning, when asked...how are you doing today?
You're fast to say "I'm very fine, thank you!"
But you wish someone could see that
your answer isn't true
That's exactly why I'm writing you today
I'm not promising to take all the pain away
But I promise you my rapt attention
I will listen to every word you have to say
A problem shared is a problem halved
Let us both get the burden off your chest
Listen my friend, You're very loved and
You deserve nothing but the best.
