I Feel It, Too

Today is a confession

To some stories I've told

About fighting depression

And losing breath until I'm cold

You know I've been there, I've done that

Internal scars prove the truth

But if I hadn't gone through that

I wouldn't have strength to stand tall next to you



Tonight is a confession

Of some feelings I hold

About fighting the sickness

When the day meets night in the morning

I've struggled to weakness

When my knees both give way

And I'm staring at myself in the mirror

Wishing it all would go away



I've dealt with the hunger

Of trying hard not to eat

When depression takes over

It's no so hard to make it bleed

But I've made all of the mistakes

And I've learned what matters most

Like loving and living for someone

Even if sometimes I feel like a ghost



If the ending was meant to happen

It would have happened long ago

So today when I see you

I know exactly what matters most

It's keeping life easier

And helping you get up when you fall

It's proving that I'm there for you

When you push away it all



Today is a confession

To some stories I've told

About living strong, not giving a submission

And watching your good life still unfold

You know I'm always here, I'll hold you tight

Through the nights when external scars tell the truth

But if we hadn't gone through what we've been through

I might not be standing tall or breathing here next to you

Author's Notes/Comments: 

You can read into it what you want, but the one thing I want you to get from this is that I will always be there for you, and that I understand more than you think I do, and that I think I maybe think I like you A Lot...no matter what happens from here on out.
