I just met a man
Looking kind of bland
I couldn't tell at first but as I walked closer by
Something hadn't gone as planned
He showed me all his scars
Or at least the ones that you can see outside
He said he'd take the pain all over again to bring his brothers back
And heaven knows he's tried
I asked him how'd you make it this long
I said that I'd be long dead
From those thoughts in my head
He told me see this pillow by my side
When my mind is getting dark
And life's no walk in park
I know that she'll be in my arms
I just saw a girl
Fiddling with her curls
I didn't know what else to do but sit down by her side
So lonely in this world
She sighed and checked her watch
It's been a week without mama's touch
She's barely ever home these days and even when she is
She doesn't talk that much
I asked her how'd you make it this long
I said that I'd be long dead
From those thoughts in my head
She told me see this pillow by my side
When my mind is getting dark
And life's a big question mark
I know that she'll be in my arms
We all need something in our lives
To keep us going through the fights
Convince ourselves that it's alright
Who cares what other people say
As if they never do the same
I asked them how'd you make it this long
I said that I'd be long dead
From those thoughts in my head
They told me see this pillow by my side
When my mind is getting dark
And I just can't find that spark
I know that she'll be in my arms
I asked them how'd you make it this long
I said that I'd be long dead
From those thoughts in my head
They told me see this pillow by my side
When my mind is getting dark
This trip called life I've embarked
I know that she'll be in my arms
