Love's Sight (We're Here)

I recently started listening to "Breathe (2 AM)", which made me think of my friend that I generally spend nights talking to her on facebook about her depressive… problems. I got inspired to write this

"Love's Sight (We're Here)"

[verse 1]
Sometimes you feel like you're drowning with no purpose
And you fear that there's no one to care 
So you lie there frowning as you fall from the surface
Cuz dear, there ain't someone to pull you to air

And as you sink farther you're wondering why
You ever bothered to try and do what you need
So you continue sinking but before you die
You remember that one little deed

Then when you know there's someone for you
That loves and cares ever so much
And you know that no matter what you do
They'll be there for you with their caressing touch

[bridge]
And as you fight the tears that are coming
Cuz you think it'll be alright
You try to ignore all the numbing
And pull you up into love's sight

[chorus]
Keep breathing
Keep trying
Don't think
I'm lying
Cuz when your world falls apart
Then just listen to your heart

Your friends
Are there
Believe
We care
And we're here to let you know
We don't wanna see you go

The world may seem against you, dear
But honey, we're there to make it clear
Cuz while you plot what we fear you'll do
Remember that we're here for you

[verse 2]
12 AM and I'm still awake
Staying up for her sake
And although I wanna fade
I'm still trying to persuade

Stay up all night or til she goes
Keep on talking until she knows
That there are people for her
And we'll always be there, yes sir

Gotta pull that knife away
Gotta keep her another day
Keeping the spirit alive
Making sure she doesn't dive

bridge]
Cuz we're fighting the tears that are coming
Cuz we fear that she won't be alright
And tell her to ignore all the numbing
And pull her up into love's sight

[chorus]
Keep breathing
Keep trying
Don't think
I'm lying
Cuz when your world falls apart
Then just listen to your heart

Your friends
Are there
Believe
We care
And we're here to let you know
We don't wanna see you go

The world may seem against you, dear
But honey, we're there to make it clear
Cuz while you plot what we fear you'll do
Remember that we're here for you

[verse 3]
Trying to talk so that we can save her
But she lives in her dreams for the better
No inception we do could make her awake
And we fear that her life is at stake

The way she lives it seems so fine
But then we see that inside she's dyin'
Although we're helping we get nothing done
We try so hard but we can't show the fun


1 AM and she's still depressed
I stick around because I know it's best
Although I wanna sleep
I fear the knife's in too deep

Wondering how if she can talk for so long
Why is it that she doesn't feel strong?
Although she listens to me
She fails to see what I see

[bridge]
But she can't fight the tears that are coming
Cuz she thinks it won't be alright
I try to ignore all the numbing
And pull her up into love's sight

[chorus]
Keep breathing
Keep trying
Don't think
I'm lying
Cuz when your world falls apart
Then just listen to your heart

Your friends
Are there
Believe
We care
And we're here to let you know
We don't wanna see you go

The world may seem against you, dear
But honey, we're there to make it clear
Cuz while you plot what we fear you'll do
Remember that we're here for you
