For Rose

I dedicate this to my best friend Rose, to let her know that I will always be there for her

No one said it would be easy

To try and turn around

What we hold inside

Is what chains us to the ground

Do we really know what goes on

In this city that we sleep?

And the thing that's killing us the most

Are the secrets that we keep

But if you fall, I will catch you

And lift you up

It's crazy how the world spins

When the person you want to stay

Is the one you hold onto the most

But the one who slips away

You try to build your life up

To be stable and to stand

There's so many people around you

It feels like no one understands

But if you fall, I will catch you

And lift you up

We all have secrets

And things we never show

But the person who hides behind the mask

Is the one I want to know

You keep on running 

You can only go so far

There's no need to hide from me

I'll always love who you are

And if you fall, I will catch you

And lift you up

"No one said it would be easy

the best thing is to not give it importance other wise your mind will go in circles into over time

"Do we really know what goes on
In this city that we sleep?
And the thing that's killing us the most
Are the secrets that we keep"

That is the way it is, nobody cares when other people are suffering, so to avoid it the best thing to do is to climb and take your family with you, and the only way to do it is to battle with them so they continue working possibilities in their brains and they would never leave you behind

"But if you fall, I will catch you
And lift you up"

That is very nice, just make sure when you lift them up they dont bring weight with them

"It's crazy how the world spins
When the person you want to stay
Is the one you hold onto the most
But the one who slips away"

Yes, that is real true, because they know you will always be there to save them

"You try to build your life up
To be stable and to stand
There's so many people around you
It feels like no one understands"

Nobody will understand, nobody wants to be under anybody

"But if you fall, I will catch you
And lift you up"

The best thing is to bring them up step by step, you dont want to be under any body putting weight on you

"We all have secrets
And things we never show
But the person who hides behind the mask
Is the one I want to know"

the only way to know that, is to have them go to you

"You keep on running
You can only go so far
There's no need to hide from me
I'll always love who you are"

the more they run, the more endurance they would build

"And if you fall, I will catch you
And lift you up"

and they would try everything, because they know you would be there
