It started with a text, a worried friend who tried, but couldn’t reach you,
She asked of me to try, ‘cause if not I then who?
You answered me with crying voice, you told me life was blue
I promised I would help you, we would sort it up, us two.
You answered when I called, when others tried in vain,
Did you know that I would understand, that I’d moderate the pain?
You called me once a true friend, indescribable in every way,
Did you know I’d never leave you, that I’d always stay?
I reach to you, I stretch my arms, beyond your forged smile.
If I can’t pull you up, I’ll just lie down and listen for a while.
You hide away, you weep alone, but I stand not far away,
I know now that you need me, but you’re just afraid to say.
I have to believe that you’ll get better, ’cause if I don’t, who will?
You walk through life so lonely, don’t I have a place to fill?
A friend glances at your wrists, but a true friend checks your thighs,
Can’t you see that I have noticed, that I saw beyond the lies?
You say you tell me all, but hide the scars, the monsters deep within,
Don’t you think that I have noticed, the stripes across your skin?
I told you I won’t say “I’ll catch you if you fall”,
You’ll have to understand, I won’t let you fall at all
