Than This (For Lily)

I'm writing this ditty
for a friend, so pretty
missed you at school today
couldn't give my hugs away
without you there
to share them with.

Sorry you're feeling down
wish I could help you lose your frown
and replace it with your smile
Oh, I know it's been a while
since I last saw it
crest your lips.

Tell me how to change it
have no qualms, cause I can face it
no matter what the deal is
I'll help you through, sort out your feelings.
That's what your friends are here for
we couldn't love you any more
(than this).

Put your faith in us
and let us help you rise above
this mess of feelings you've discovered.
Don't have to do it alone
so just let your tears flow
we'll guide you home.
