this is for you and your broken heart
this is something to let you know that
you haven't done anything wrong
you're the strongest woman
i have ever seen
and it kills me knowing that
i've ruined the only thing you're living for
you've given me the world
you've given me life
you've given me all that i could want
and i gave nothing in return

this is for you
my best friend who can't sleep through the night
without wanting to sleep forever
you're a beautiful smile rolled up in a hurricane of tears
i'm sorry i'm breaking our promise
you're my best friend
and you've showed me that with a little love
life can last forever

this is for you
my best friend who wears bags under her eyes
and wants to follow in the footsteps
of a little green girl
who i'll be seeing soon
adding to your heart ache seems so evil
and it's ripping up my heart
this is for my best friend
who would die to save my life
and so i'd die to save hers

this is for you
my dear little brother
who kills my hope and doesn't care
except when i'm like this
then i suddenly become important
and i know you have your own demons
but you'd never know mine
so you run away from yours
every single time

and finally, this is for you
the boy i've fallen in love with
a boy who thinks he has nothing left
so he runs away until he can't run anymore
and looks for drugs around every corner
my beautiful boy friend
who gives me reasons to live
and sings me to sleep
so i can dream of a place where
he and i would wake up in the morning
and smile for the first time in years
a smile that doesn't hide cuts and tears
a smile that grows from ear to ear
at the thought that one day
we'll be free
