I've had my eyes on you Don't ask how long I just know you've got it all wrong I can see in your eyes You use your smile as a disguise In every congratulatory gesture you make there's a cry for help Yet you don't let anyone know your true self Run away or learn from your past Hide your demons with a laugh Why let yourself long for breath when there's a hand to pull you out of your suffocating bath? Trust is a knife you sharpen with every word I promise this blade we hold will not dig into your back
