About A Friend

this pain inside seems to fade

when i talk to you I'm not so afraid

of the pain inside that eats me alive

when your there it seems to revive

the need in me to be myself

and drives away the need to take the blade off the shelf

and hurt myself in that familiar way

the feelings just don't seem to stay

when you speak to me it eases the sway

that my depression now seems to hold

you make the feelings of hurt grow old

and ease the pain till its no more

you pick me up down off the floor

the scars you see you don't seem to care

about what their from or who or where

you see the scars and wonder why

i would do such things to myself and what went awry

to make me hurt so much, well the truth is,

i don't know why i do the things i do to this

body of mine i cannot tell

i do not know what makes my hell

but you seem to make it go and fade away

you keep me calm and make my day

the reason for that is still unknown

but when i talk to you i feel like I'm not alone
