Always
I see you cry my lonesome friend, for I was born when you came to me.
Say you’ll sleep inside my house, just one more night; I’ll take your lead.
You’re safe with me. I swear I’ll try to heal your wounds somehow.
I’ll take your burden into my arms and fill your void for now.
Your beating heart is just like mine, and as it breaks, I feel it too.
The moment’s come to bear my soul, but I’m too scared so close to you.
I’m weaker than I will admit, but I’m your rock as you often say.
If I was sure, I’d confide in you, but it’s hard to trust in you that way.
I’m here to save you once again. It hurts me too when you’re in pain.
Your hold on me is killing me because I know that you don’t feel the same.
In my arms, you fall asleep. I barely breathe because I’m still awake.
There’s so much I wish I could say but I’ll only give what you will take.
I love you more than you’ll ever know. I wish I didn’t have to care this much,
But for you I’ll die every single time since I come alive at your touch.
When you wake up, I’ll be next to you and I’ll never expect anything in return.
I wish that I could walk away, and then maybe someday you will learn.
I know this time won’t be the last. This vicious cycle will never end.
I’ll wait for you to come running back. I’m not your hero, just your friend.
These words are often left unsaid because I know that I’m the one you need
When you can’t turn to anyone. Right here waiting, I’ll always be.
