I could tell that he wanted to die 
And I just wanted to tell him not to cry
But how can I be of use
How can I be the proof
That life is worth living
And there's nothing that needs forgiving
You are innocent, pure 
And I trust in that place in you, for sure 
But you don't believe me and I watch you turn away
And I am lost for words to say
Just know that I will be here, here
And I will make it crystal clear
That I am not going anywhere 
So don't you dare
Depart these lands 
Because someone understands
Even if she blushes when you smile 
Even if she'd watch you for a long while
Even if she'd make pain into art
And wait before she gives you her heart
Even though it's yours for the taking 
And I'm not faking 
I'm just shy and a little afraid
And you're so bright I seek the shade
So I can look out from there 
And make sure you know I care 
I count every step you take 
To me and with each one I hope you wake
To the notion that love is true
And that it will always be in me for you
