I hear your hollow laughter and sighs of secret pain,

Pretending and inventing just to hide your shame,

Plastic smiles and faces, blinking back your tears,

Empty friends and faces that magnify your fears,

If your tired and weary, weak and alone,

I will take your burden because I can understand what it’s like to be alone,

It hurts to watch you struggle and try so hard to win,

Wasting precious momments restless and confused,

Building up your defences, a wall of fear that you’ll be used,

Let me walk by your side,

Let me heal your heartache and tears you’ve never cried,

Never will I leave you or ever turn away,

Keep you through the darkness, lead you through the day,

We won’t get caught the in cobwebs,

We could run away.
