I’ll write for you.

I won't call you selfish

for the pain left behind

I won’t call you a coward

for the hurt you would hide

I know what it’s like

to be stranded in water

too deep to resurface,

too shallow to bother

I know what it’s like

to feel numb and alone

crawling out from the ruins

of all the world’s thrown

I won’t call you selfish

for feeling so trapped

I won’t call you a coward

for the way that you snapped

Under weight, under pressure

it’s time to let go

’cause I know what it’s like

to be screaming below

One step closer to breaking,

dissolving this life

one step closer to leaving

behind every strife

I know what it’s like

to combat all that’s cruel

and I know it was you

who taught me this rule

I know what it’s like

to stand against hate

rise above my afflictions,

wipe clean this old slate

So I won’t call you selfish

or a coward tonight

’cause in the end, the stars

have regained one more light.
