Just Listen
when i cry can you see
al the pain inside of me
do you really know how long
I had to hide to prove you wrong
to lie each time you called my phone
asking if i felt alone
to wipe my tears upon my sleeve
wishing that you wouldn't leave
to paint a smile and laugh so hard
only just to fall apart
wanting help but felt a need
to help the world,but not help me
just to see a smile on you
made it so I could pull through
to hear you laugh a moment more
kept my feet here on earths' floor
to call me friend meant so much then
I just need to hear it again
please don't leave like others do
I need the friend I've found in you
the burden here is much too large
for me to carry on
please don't let me slip away
please just call me home
