”DEAR CHILD”
My heart bleeds for you, dear child
I wish I could take away your pain
You don’t need to suffer anymore
The walls are bleached with emptiness
You try to keep on fighting it
But your hands are cold, your heart is weak
As the days turn into months
The lack of touch makes you question your own worth
Don’t be afraid to cry
Unspoken needs are hurting inside
You’re not alone
How can I make you realize?
You’re not a waste of time
Dear child
You are hurt, I know dear child
I know how you’re feeling sad inside
Please don’t close your eyes and waste away
You’re going nowhere but down
Into the darkness where I can’t reach you
Don’t be afraid to cry
Your lonely tears are hurting inside
You’re not alone
How can I make you realize?
That you won’t survive
Your self-destruction has its price
Be strong, hold on
Don’t turn around and fall behind
Cause you’re not a waste of time
Dear child
It’s okay for you to be here (X2)
