Sometimes the saddest stories
Are the ones right before your eyes
The people you see slipping away
But dare not move an inch to save
The lives you see falling apart
Only to let them shatter
And when the person begs to know why
They don't receive the answer
Sometimes these are the stories you should take the time to hear
To show someone you genuinely care
Sometimes when they need someone to hold them
Be the one standing with open arms
Sometimes you won't want to, bitterness holding you back
Remember the pain. the agony. the silent screams
Listen closely and you'll hear what I mean.
Be the one to brighten their day
Give them a reason to fight through until tomorrow
Don't let them break and slip away into a place of permanent sorrow.
I am no saint, and there's so much blood in my past I could drown in the memories
But when I tell you I love you, I mean it.
When I say I won't hurt you, I pray to God he'll make it so I can keep it.
