You stare at yourself in the mirror And wait for things to become clearer But all you see are broken pieces Sewn together into a thesis There are dark clouds above your head And seeing them fills you with dread You don't understand why they say "Shut up dude just go away" Neither do I I see a kind and intelligent guy You always know when to lend an ear Or when its time to joke and jeer But you can't see what my eyes see Silent always is your plea If you need a shoulder to lean on I'll be here from dusk to dawn Remember that they are wrong Even your failures are a beautiful song I can see the dark clouds fade And for today at least, with sunshine they'll trade.
