The scars on your wrists, they show me tales of despair
I can still see all the hurt, that you still bear
You think it’s a secret because you wear long sleeves
That we can’t see what you hide underneath
Each scar that you have, is a battle you lost
So let me in, we can win this war at all cost
I know what I'm saying, because I’ve been in your shoes
The faint cries for help, the subtle clues
You think you’re alone, but it’s never just you
I’ve taken that road, I've been there too
But seeing your pain, I can’t stand the sight
Now I’m holding back tears with all of my might
I know this life gets harder everyday
But just believe me when I tell you. Please. Stay
You and I are not so different, we both pretend to be ok
But I know how you truly feel inside, that you just want to run away
I’ve had those thoughts too many times before
I’ve packed my bags, I’ve gotten to the door
But as I reach for that handle, I just break down inside
I don’t want to pretend anymore, I no longer want to hide
See, I’ve always been very good at hiding this pain and agony
If we were to meet face to face, you’d never see the sad in me
My friend I am sorry for the pain that you endure
I know you feel lost, I know you feel insecure
But I will be your light in this world full darkness
That north star that shines bright in a sky that is starless
And I know for a fact that this life gets harder everyday
But just believe me when I tell you. Please. Stay
I want to be your friend, someone you can believe in
My loyalty is pure, it will never come with treason
Some seek knowledge or demand favors in return
That smile that’s on your face is my only concern
I will always be here, through sickness and in health
Money means nothing because love is my wealth
It’s not about personal gain, or what happens in the end
Its the fact that we all need someone to be our true friend
All I need is that one shot to show you, you’re wonderful
And that when you feel so run down, you’re just as beautiful
My dove, I know this life gets harder everyday
But just believe me when I tell you. Please. Stay
If you open your eyes, you will see I need you here
That I need you by my side, that I always need you near
As long as I am breathing, I will be your stone
Don’t you dare think that you don’t have a home
You are my muse, the reason for this piece
Because my love for you, it will never cease
Even if it takes me over a thousand years
I will prove your beauty and dry your tears
I’ve been through so much but came out a fighter
So If you take my hand, I'll hold yours tighter
Because I know this life gets harder everyday
But just believe me when I tell you. Please. Stay
