Oh my darling
If only you could see
Everything I admire
When you look at me
There are stars in your eyes
And constellations make up your mind
You're lost because you want to be normal
But God gave you a different mold
And you don't understand
That, that doesn't mean
You're not beautiful
Boys have abused you
To believe a women's love might cure you
Yet you're still left feeling empty
Because what society tells you
You realize has no meaning
You cry to a God
Whose promised you love and healing
But you think he doesn't hear you
Because you believe you don't deserve that love

I listen to you talk
About all the things that hurt
And I feel myself breaking
When there is no emotion in your words

Cause don't you get it?
Can't you see?
All the love that surrounds you?
How much you mean to me?
Some of me wants to shake you
Yell at you and scream
Until you understand
The worth of your being
And yet I wish to hold you
And catch all of your tears
Help you remember
That I am always near
And to remind you
All the people who would care
If you one day decided
That you no longer belonged here

I know that it's not easy
But no one said it was
So next time you get close
To giving up your life
Remember all the angels
Who stopped you all those times
And if you think of me
Know how much I love you
So much that it hurts
And there is a God who loves
An infinite times more
