I miss the way your smile used to come from your heart
I'm standing shivering; terrified, watching you slowly fall apart
Your memories unwinding your pain doesn’t stop
You think I don't hear your lonely tear drops
But there in the shadows I stand and I wait
Praying for you, waiting, contemplating your fate
I love you so much, its torture to see
That you're slowly fading, by living misery
Please hold on, and whatever you do
Never give up; I swear I'm here for you
I wish that I could bear the hurt instead
To silence the thoughts screaming through your head
But all I can do, is hug away the fear
Watching over you, I'll always be near
To console you that you're not alone
Holding your hand, even when everyone's gone
I know it hurts I can see it in your eyes
I can see through the smiles, the laughs, the lies
I know you can't help feeling like this inside
I just hope that it helps that I'm by your side
I'm that shoulder you can cry on
My words will urge you to stay strong
I swear to eternal loving loyalty
A helping hand when you're in need of me
Please don't let the sadness consume your soul
I need you please, the friend I've always asked for…
I love you so much, so very much
I'll always be here, close enough to touch
