Scared of everything that could ever be
Not alone, yet not unseen
I don’t know the path I walk
Please stay close, give me warmth, and to you I’ll talk
A little pain could never
With your warmth, when you’re close to me
No more pain will I see
I don’t care if it comes, I just wont go down
Been there to many times before, lying cold bleeding on the floor
So subtle were the ways to live
I found a way, found a point, so I struggled on
But the pain grew almost everyday
Its time to go, time to live, and I’ll live today
No longer will I lie alone
With you near me, I do not care; you make it all seem ok
Time will pass, and things will heal
This happiness feels so real, and I love you so, don’t worry love, I wont go
Falling down, just isn’t me, and with you here to support me I don’t think I will, pain just can’t pass through
A web of strength, the pain does come, not that I care nor is it fun
But it won’t take me down, even with the stains, and a past full of pain
I will keep on living on, trying to be me
Never giving up, always loving she
