...
I miss those days
When I could talk to you
I could talk to you about anything
I could talk to you about everything
I miss you're warm smile
I miss you're soft voice
Why were you so good to me
And why did I throw you away

I hate watching you
Watching you be like this
When you're hurting inside
It makes me hurt too
I don't like to see you in pain
Yet I've caused you pain too
I've made many mistakes
But I'm trying to live up to them

I'm trying to be a good person
In a world full of guilt
I'm trying to be a perfect person
When there's no way I'll ever be
I miss you quite dearly
And I wish I could be there for you
Because I believed that I would be there for you
When you were hurting inside

I love you still
Despite all these problems
Despite all the pain
But I don't blame you for it
It's was never yours to begin with
I hope you feel better
That you can push them away
Because I know you are strong

You're the strongest person I've known
You lived when you wanted to die
You held back from destroying things
You are the reason I can smile
And not feel completely overtaken by shame
You're someone I can be proud of
You mean so much to me
So stay strong, stay strong indeed
