My friends, they always tell me,
"You mean so much to me
You've wiped my tears, you've made me laugh
My spirit you have freed."
They say "You always pick me up, when something has me down,
And say" "Baby doll don't fret don't cry there's better, look around."
"You always know when something's up, you can see it on my face,
You're there for me in a second, no matter the time or place".But when the tables have turned, and I am in my darkest way,
Those friends that praised me so, have nothing now to say.
The cliché phrases and half-hearted hugs do nothing for my pain,
You've taken so much from me that myself I can hardly sustain.
I helped you through your pain; will you help me through mine?
Will you wipe my tears and guide me through, to the light I'm desperate to find.
Now that the demons of my life attack, their claws are eager to begin.
Where are you now that I need you most, now that the storm is rolling in?
