I can see behind the laughs and smiles

the pain and tears you fight to hide

And so far you’ve hid it too well

 

Most don’t know what you’re going through

You keep your secrets from almost everyone

But you’re weary, I can tell

 

I want you to know that I am here

and I even understand

more than you will ever know

 

I’ve been at the crossroads

Do I stay or do I go? Right or Left?

Which is the way I should go?

 

I can’t give you the answers

You have to find your own way

But I can listen and let you cry

 

If I could, if it were in my power

to make everything perfect for you

You know that I would try

 

Hang on to only the good

Let go of all the pain

And know that I’m always here for you

and I love you, my dear friend
