If I run, don't follow

Don't urge me if my voice sounds hollow

Never invalidate how I'm feeling

Then you'd never get to know my really

Don't investigate if there are tears in my eyes

Just hold me tight and let me cry

Don't expect me to come out right away

Don't expect me to pull through with the advice you say

Don't expect me to tell you everything because you are my friend

Don't expect to fix every wound you attempt to tend

Don't expect me to feel comfortable, because I can't

Just be there to listen when I rant

Don't think I'll leave you behind

If you're nice to me, I'll be kind

If you help me, I'll do the same

Together, our demons can be tamed

I'll be there when you need me—every time

You share your problems, and I'll share mine
