Hair like fire and eyes of hazel you hate yourself and I know things can be painful but don't you see that you are amazing you doubt yourself  but you should always be sure you are kind and caring and you always pick me up when I can't take things no more.

Alcohol on your breath and hating yourself don't you see I'll always be here for you now you don't have to be alone I can be there for you I'll never let you cry alone again I know what it's like to throw yourself down a pit of agony where no matter how much you try you can't climb out where now matter how you try your screams don't come out and no matter how far you run you can't outrun yourself.

You hate your body but I think it's imperfections that make us perfect I know you won't always admit it but I can see you're hurting I want to wipe you pain away but I know I'm not perfect sometimes I don't even believe in the words I'm saying  every day my trauma makes me hurt but for now I just want to be there for you because I don't want to let anyone hurt you.

I'll be there when you need to cry if you want to yell and scream I don't even mind I'll listen to you and I can hold you closely I hate it when you hurt because your agony hurts me.
