always here for you friend

why do you have to hurt yourself?
why do you have to let it happen?
you know it causes you pain
yet you let it just come through

i know it makes you smile
i know it brings you joy
i can see happiness in your eyes
i can see peace in your mind

but i know you know
i know that you're aware
i know you perfectly know
that that joy's just temporary

don't you ever get tired
don't you ever get bored
of bringing tears in your eyes
of causing sorrow to your heart

you're a good listener
you're good at taking advice
that's what i knew at first
that's what i always thought about

but somehow i think i'm wrong
now i think i'm mistaken
a simple advice you can't take
a simple "no" you can't follow

but i do understand
i do know from experience
i've been through that before
i was like that back then

it's hard to let go of something
it's difficult to lose hold
when you know it makes you smile
and know its your happiness

i just hope you realize
i wish you put it in your mind
others like me want you happy
friends like me hate to see you cry

that explains the reason why
even if we know it hurts you
we still let you do as you wish
let you do whatever you do

we know it makes you happy
even if its just momentarily
we know you enjoy it
we know you like the feeling

just try to be careful
don't let it hurt you fully
we'll surely hate to see you cry
we won't like it a bit if you're sad

but just the same as before
we'll still be here for you
though sometimes you're a hard head
we'll still be friends to you
