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
