Hey,

I know how you feel now,
At 3 AM, staring out of your bedroom window
And tears rushing down your face.

To tell you the truth,
I felt that same way.
Broken, lost and utterly confused.
For a moment I didn't understand the feeling too.

Hey,

I know that feeling deep inside your chest,
I felt it too when I became depressed.
I never had marks on my body,
Or scars on my skin.

But I felt it too,
The things that you keep in.

Hey,

I know you don't understand,
Complaining that it was sudden
And so unplanned.

I know you're crying now late at night,
I know that you're scared.
I can tell that you're broken,
'Cause I was once there.

I used to feel shattered,
And so unprepared.
I used to feel broken and like nobody cared.
I used to be empty and beyond any repair.

Hey,

I know all of this,
Because remember,
I was there.

So hey,
Please stop crying when you don't understand.
Don't tug on your hair and don't feel your despair.

To tell you the honest wholest truth I know,
I gave you so many chances
Before I would go.

I yelled and I screamed,
Got angry and mean.

I cried and I tried
To say everything.

Hey,

I know how you're feeling right now,
That is the same way that I had once felt.

I know you want to cry.
Or scream.
Or feel nothing at all.

I know because I was once there before.

So please don't cry, because now I'm okay.

Now you no longer have to worry about me.

Goodbye.
