I Know You

One of my friends... Has been going through some hard times.. We've been friends for a long time but I feel like we are drifting apart. But I decided to write this... I'm not sure what I think about it.... but here it is...


The false smile... I've seen before
The clever lies... I've heard before
But I know you...

The fake laugh... that silently kills
The hurt that lies behind your eyes
I have seen that before
But I know you...

Even when your world is crashing
you try to keep your life intact,
But you can't hide your hurt from me
I've heard it, and I've seen it all before.

I know you,
you're crying
even when your eyes are dry
I know you,
you're screaming even when your smiling
And I'm calling you to hear me,
calling to your heart;
because I have seen it all before
and I'm here to hold you,
I'm here to listen,
I'm here

The smile on your face
to hide your pain,
the attitude you display
to hide the hurt,
cannot decieve me...
I know you...

Even when your world is crashing
you try to keep your life intact,
But you can't hide your hurt from me
I've heard it, and I've seen it all before.

I know you,
you're crying
even when your eyes are dry
I know you,
you're screaming even when your smiling
And I'm calling you to hear me,
calling to your heart;
because I have seen it all before,
and I'm here to hold you,
I'm here to listen.
I'm here.
