about

This track is something I wrote when going through a tough time in my life, along with another friend of mine who was also struggling. I tried to portray how I felt at that time with the lyrics and the tone of my voice. Confession: I'm not the best singer, but I couldn't find anyone else to do it for me so I apologize to your ears. Nonetheless, I hope that this song can accurately show how I was feeling.

lyrics

Have you ever found yourself
Talking to yourself
Cause you're so selfish don't wanna share your problems with nobody else
Feeling like you've been forgotten on the shelf
Stuck in hell
Well
I don't got much to say to you but I been there too
Death's siren calling to you I've heard her tune
Really she's just singing lies but all i heard was truth
Cause at that moment happiness felt like a wild goose
It all felt pointless
So why continue?
Cause no matter how dark it is there's still a light in you
The darker the night the brighter the light shines
And if all the doors are shut it's time to try a window
I've seen the dark place and I'm sure not for the last time
But when i come back I'll be stronger than the last time
In this act of life I've got to fight for my right to have the last line
That's right
You can't back down even though i know you want to
Emotions come and go but memories will always haunt you
And if you need somebody always know that i got you
I got love for you please stay with me
My heart cries for you
You don't know how it hits me
If anything just know that i am listening
Please hear this I'll never ever leave you
Stay alive brother cause you know i need you

My friend
This song is for you
But what you don't know is that this song is for me too
I know
We can get through this
Just stay alive with me

I say to me
Real talk i don't even really like you
A lot of things i do i do just to spite you
Every night you lay eyes wide open I'll remind you
Of all the times you messed up
This ain't time for games
No disguises no dress up
I think is high time you fessed up
To the lies you try to hide cause like a sprained ankle you can't handle the pressure
But then my friend says to me
It's time to be real
You got scars that still haven't healed
On the out and the in
Your mind and your skin carrying wounds that you placed so you could feel something
And then you fell
Thinking you could hit the bottom but the hole just got deeper
And you listened to yourself your greatest deceiver
Saying there's no point I'll never get out
But you forgot who all these people believed in
A guy with a dream and limitless bounds
Now get back on your feet
Look me in the eye
Wipe those tears from your face
Give it one more try
And if you fail it's okay
Be glad you survived
Give it one more day
Maybe the sun will rise
But until then just take it one step at a time
And i know you can't last much longer
But if it doesn't kill you it'll make you stronger
So hold on
Grab on to me
You being like this is hard to see
I want the old you back even if you say he's gone
I know he's there somewhere just waiting to come home
So please hear this I'll never ever leave you
Stay alive brother cause you know that i need you

You and i
We can save each other
We don't have to fight alone
I'll stay by your side
This is how you and i will stay alive
