Life is hard,
And things get rough,
You try your best,
But its not enough,
You're swimming up stream,
You're the only one drowning,
Your mask of a smile,
Covering the frowning,
I'm not going to lie,
Tomorrow might not be better,
People will break your heart,
And you're going to have to let her,
You might wake up sad,
Sleep won't fix your heart,
The tears will keep falling,
You will fall apart,
I can promise no sunrise,
I can promise no dawn,
I can't fix every problem,
But I'll be here when you call,
When everything's broken,
I'll be there for you,
In the middle of the night,
When there's nothing left to do,
I'll be there to help,
I'll be there to hold,
No problem's too big,
No stories too old,
I know I'm not perfect,
Like the girls on the screen,
But I understand hurt,
I know where you've been,
Just let me in,
Stop building me out,
I know every tear,
What heartbreak's about,
I have what you need,
Even if its not what you want,
There's more to me,
Than what you see in the front,
So wipe your tears for now,
And for today fake a smile,
And I'll be there when you're alone,
To make you feel better for awhile…
