When you couldn't keep on going,
When you were heartbroken
And all alone,
Why didn't anyone help you
they loved you.
they should have known

At the time where you most needed them,
They were no-where in sight
You knew you shouldn't've trusted them,
You shouldn't have put up a fight.

Maybe if you'd listened,
To you instincts
In your heart,
Then you would still be here
To have a second start

When the hole down deep inside you,
Was closed only with paper and tape
The smallest little tear inside you
was all it took to make you break.

I wanted to take you in my arms,
And put you back together
With hope and love and kindness
To dispel away the anger

I came so close to helping,
To running to your aid
But a little something stopped me
I was desperately afraid

So I watched silently as you suffered
With your dark and hollow eyes,
And wondered why no one else
Could see behind your lies

The lies that hid behind the
Neat writing and the fake smile
I wondered why no one else saw
How you were bringing yourself to exile.

So when you finally decided
That life wasn't your friend
I made a promise to myself
That I would stay with you to the end

But by then it was too late
You where already gone
You decided that you couldn't live
By being other peoples pawn

I'm sorry that I failed you.
I miss you
I know I don't deserve to,
But, oh, how I do
