If I close my eyes I can hear the screaming
If I open them I see the fight
I feel sick, my thoughts are reeling
WHEN WILL THIS FINALLY END TONIGHT!
I can't take this anymore
Anyone will see
And the sad truth about this is...
It's not even happening..to me...
I watch the torture from the sidelines
Mop up tears and tape up pain
I offer hugs and words of comfort if need be...
Most times, my efforts are in vain
I have the number for the emergencies
The panic button, if you will
In case life, in all its urgencies
Dishes my friend one final spill
I want to scream and take her away
Keep her safe so she won't cry
I beg her happiness to stay
Oh sister, oh friend of mine...
I feel useless as you struggle
I am powerless as you cry
I value your friendship over all others...
And will till the day I...die..
You don't deserve this torment
To me she has no excuse!
What wrongs have been done to warrent
All of this verbal abuse...
What can I do, answer me that
To make you smile once more
What can I do to make you laugh
To make you happy..like you were before
When we're free from this place I pay you back
For every tear you cried
And some day we'll look back and laugh
At the days long gone by
When both of us would cry and worry
And long to get away
Until then..all I can do
Is keep you going until that day
Lean on my arm, dear sister
One more moment, one more day
That's it, just keep going...
No matter what...I'm here to stay
I'll get you through this somehow
And trade your tears for laughs
For no matter who else you may loose in life...
You'll always have a hand to clasp
