Not Alone

You are not alone, you never ever were
I saw you standing there and crying on your own
You keep it to yourself, running away
and as you live you can only think of dying
There's someone out here
You're not alone
There's no need to lose hope
You won't believe me when I say, I was once the same as you:
Cold and hungry, needing a friend
Your problems aren't your fault, don't take it out on you
This masochistic madness has to end now
You fear I'm one to fear. Face your own facade
Are you fruitlessly forgetting who you are?
Are you a star? Do you carry your own energy?
Do you think there's something wrong with me abetting?
You're not alone
I want to be your friend
How can I not keep going?
I know you are looking for a friend, why not a friend like me?
I'm not exactly everything you want but I care
I'll give you what you need, even if it rains,
I'll be a rock that you can stand on
You're not alone
I'll never let you down
I'll keep you in my heart
Please don't let me down.

Mistakes

Repeated mistakes
Our hearts will break
A lesson we'll take into the next day we live...
But it never seems to come
It happens again and again against our will
C: But that's the way it goes for us all
We forget our regrets and carry the past into the presence
~Just trying harder is never enough to escape our temptations
Secondhand you receive
A piece of my mind
and my disease that stays sour inside you...
because of my regrets, and my tact so circumspect
We'll never work it out
(C)
~So are we able to throw off all that hinders, and gather strength not our own?

Complacent Faith

at this point in my life it seems
that everything inside of me
along with my faith and relationships are low
they seem so uncertain
i fell into complacency
when all i felt was that i had those days
but now i'm not so sure
i have to change my ways
this face i can't just wear
and when i feel alone
i know he's there watching over me
oh what is so important
that it draws us away
from the very thing that makes us whole?
the savior of my soul is weeping
i have dropped my guard
it takes trials
to shape our relationships into a better form
to believe
sometimes it's hard to see
we have to change our ways
these faces don't compare
and when we feel alone
we have to know he's there
watching over me watching over you
here watching over
