we're used to it
we’re used to it
being the friend that always is there
being the one to listen and dry the tears
we like to play the supporting role
we care deeply about others, even too much
everyone wants us to stand by their side
but we are never good enough to be stood by
we bleed silently waiting for someone to care
we are the ones that ends up with cancelled plans and broken hearts
when we cry there is no one to dry the tears
but we don’t dare say a word
because being that friend…
means being there for our people
even when our people won’t be there for us
