You took the time to see, when everyone else was blind

You look at me with tear filled eyes
and try to understand
your so concerned, so caring
show me you demand.

and though it hurts to show you
it hurts more just to hide
so i life my sleeve and show you
that pain i fell inside.

i watch you as i life my sleeve
and my heart begins to race
as i undo the bracket
and stare at your sad face.

you look so very sad
as you run your fingers over my broken skin
and try to feel my pain
the pain i feel within.

with tears in your eyes you ask me why
and i don't know how to explain
how do i describe
why i cause all this pain?

cuz all the shit that piles up
it really takes its tole
and though i cant handle my own life
this i can control

i control how hard i press
i control how much i bleed
i control how much i want it to hurt
its a feeling of being free.

i can see you want to help me
and to know that you care
makes me feel so much better
my life i can repair.

cuz you took the time to notice
when everyone else was blind
and called me out about it
and tried to save my mind.

and life is just so bad
and i know it will be rough
but with you by my side
i know that I'll be tuff.

and with you i wouldn't make it
and my heart would never mend
but i know now i can get through it
with you as my best friend.

i save your life once
and now your saving mine
cuz when everyone was busy
you stopped and took the time.

the time to look me into my eyes
the time to stop and see
the time to pull up my sleeve
and reveal the things to me.

and tell me I'll be happy
if i can just hold on
and you'll be right there with me
and together we stand strong.

and though it may not seem like it
i truly do believe
that someday I'll find that happiness
that you keep up your sleeve.

and without you i am nothing
just a screwup up little teen
with cuts on her arm in all directions
and is happy only in dreams.

your my best friend
though think and thin
and now knowing that you care
my broken heart can mend.

i love you with all my heart
and without you i am dead
so thanks for being there for me
and saving me from my head.

best friends forever
is a promise and i swear
that you and me will make it
and our lives we will repair.

its you and me until the end
and i never wanna loose you
i trust you with all my heart
your the only one who knew.

and so you save my life
as i did your so long ago
thank you is all i can say
for never letting go.

decanted to Randi.
you took the time to see the cuts
when everyone else looked away.
i love you.
