How could I not know? Not sense your pain? Not understand your low? Why didn't you say? How did I not notice? Do you always keep things to yourself in that way?
How can I be so uncaring? You listen to me Never complaining, never comparing You put up with my senseless babble Words that don't really mean anything Just stupid, girly, meaningless thoughts You listen to me, never revealing your internal battle You know everything about me I know so little about you What thoughts of pain fill your mind; what kind of debris
I thought we were friends The very best kind We shared ice cream and secrets But now I realize that bond is all in my self-centered mind I was so selfish And it's all my fault I never knew life for you had been so hellish
I hope you tell me why I hope you open up I hope you yell and scream and cry Tell me what's been eating your guts Hold nothing back Explain every one of the deep cuts
What made it happen? Who could it be? How could something your joy ever flatten? What's going on in your brain? I don't understand Tell me everything, do not refrain
Tell me, trust me Just don't slip back into that dark place again My steadfast loyalty is a guarantee Just like Jake I can be here too That pain can be something I finally shut up and take.
