I will always be there

She knows how much she hurts inside
But not what others feel
They see the tears fall down her face
and suddenly know that this is real

It's not just teenage hurt
That carves marks into her wrist
It's real pain, and real tears
As she realizes what she'll miss

I know this tunnel,
seems so dark and long
Like you'll never see the sunlight
Hear another song

You feel like you are trapped,
and there's no escape
So you pick up the knife
and another cut you make

Each of them allowing,
your fears to run free
All the feelings you can't deal with
All the things that make you weak

Everything you were,
is in a pool on the ground
You don't know what they'll be feeling
The person by who you'll be found

You don't know the tears they'll cry,
As they fall down on the ground
Thinking what could I have done
To take that blade from her hand

Inside your head it all seems dark,
like there will be no end
But I can assure you you'll see sunlight,
surrounded by your friends

They lie beside you as you bleed,
are in your thoughts as you slice
They cry tears for every moment
They see you with a knife

They see the scratches made upon your hands,
See the glass tears in your eyes
They wish they could convince you
To stop hurting yourself all the time

To tell you that it's not your fault,
that your life is so screwed up
To tell you that they love you
And will be there to pick you up

I'll be there to pick you up Hun,
To save you from this place
I'll take your hand and we will run
Out of this dark tunnel that you face

I'll take the blade out of your hand,
and clean up all the blood
I'll put bandages on your wrists and
Sit with you through the flood

I'll bring you up from your depression
Bring a smile to your face
I'll mend your broken heart
Together we'll run this race

But you've got to do your bit to
I can't go at this alone
I can't try to save you
If you're already gone

I can't take the blade from your hand,
When you've ended it already
I can't put bandages on your wrists
If you won't hold them steady..

I can't bring you up from your depression
If you won't give me your hand
I can't mend your broken heart
If you won't open up to a friend

No matter what you feel right now
It will all come to pass
And all the love you feel from friends
Will be the thing to last

So don't break down and cry
When you feel you can't go on
Don't decide to die
When I'm here to make you strong

And when the tears that you cry
Are all you can believe,
Just give these loving arms a try
And have a little faith in me...

Let me wipe your tears away
Let me hold you, let me care
Let me deliver you from this evil
And I promise, I will always...be there...
