I'll Be Here Tonight

Left alone
Standing in the rain

Looking for someone

But only feeling pain

But it wasn't the rain

That stained your shirt

It was only your tears

Left from this hurt

The more that fall

The harder to swallow

The pain in your chest

Leaves you so hallow

You look around

And wipe it away

And tell yourself

It'll be okay

But only you know

That that's not true

You feel your pain

and live it too

You want it to stop

You don't want to bleed

But your hate keeps growing

From that planted seed

I see the scars

Tracing your wrists and heart

I know how you feel

But this isn't the hardest part

The hardest part

Is letting it all go

it takes a lot of strength

And this I know

You want to die

Because you think there's no use

But nothing will change

As you set up that noose

Dying is easy

But living is hard

Your time isn't near

Just let down your guard

You don't just don't get it

You don't understand

You don't even realize

Who I am

Someone who cares

And will help you through

Everything that's wrong

And everything new

So put up the noose

And put the gun to the side

Flush all the pills

And go along for the ride

I'll stay here forever

As long as you don't fight

Just keep on going

I'll be here tonight
