Description
From The Outside Looking In

I’ve taken your blows without complaint
I’ve stuck by you
But I don’t know if
I can stand this treatment for much longer.

I’ve helped you
I’ve worried on your behalf
I’ve kept your precious secret
But I don’t know how much longer I can take it.

You promise that you’ll never do it again
But we both know you’re lying
You say you’re fine
But I can see through your lies.

I want to help you
But you seem to not want my help
I’m supposed to be your friend
And yet you don’t tell me truthfully how you’re feeling.

You lied to your parents
They have no clue on what’s really going on
I could have told them
You know how worried I am.

You’ve lied too many times
And now I’m not sure what to really think
You seem to be drifting away
You’re tempted by the devil.

You snap out of the blue
And yell abuse at me
And make me feel like shit
I don’t know how much longer I can take it.

All of us are worried
We try to understand
But how can we help
If you won’t say what’s on your mind.

I try to be there
But still you keep me in the dark
I want to help
But you won’t let me in.

You’re hurting more people than you think
I cry on your behalf
I wonder what you’re thinking
And still I’m not sure how long I can take it.

You’re pulling all your friends down with you
We wonder when you’ll turn up
You’re never at school and we worry
I’m still not sure how long I can take it.

I wish you’d let me in
I wish I could help
I wish I had the courage to tell you all these things
And still you’d rant and rave.

I take it in silence
Never saying what I truly think
I want you to know I’m here
To help you through this time.

You say we could never feel you’re pain
I would try if you let me in
I want to help
But still I wonder how much longer I can take it.

Still I keep you’re secret
It torments me in the night
I wish I could make you see
That I just want to help.

I toss and turn at night
Wondering if you’ll make it to the next bright morn’.
You hurt me and you
When you feel upset.

You really have no clue
That what you’re doing has such an impact on me
Each time I worry more
And I wish that you’d just stop.

You torment me
By keeping me in the dark
I only found out
From another of you’re friends.

You were too worried about my ‘precious’ feelings
Sometimes I wonder
What’s really going through you’re head
I’ll tell you flat out.

You’re beginning to scare me
I’m glad you finally told me
Though sometimes I am not
I’m not sure how much longer I can keep your sacred secret.

I need to tell some one
About your little secret
And I still won’t
Because that will affect you more than me.

I see your tears
And want to help
But you won’t let me near
I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

I want to tell my mum
But I’m afraid you’ll hate me forever
I know that she will tell yours
And then you would hate me.

I don’t know where to turn
I have your worries and mine
You think it’s not too serious
But we know it really is.

You have to be honest
It’s not the person you were meant to be
You once had a carefree heart
But now it’s turned to coal.

You seem to be oblivious
To my helping hand
And now I need to tell you
I don’t know how much longer I can take this.

You have times when you’re fine
And times when you’re not
I really do wish that you would tell me truthfully
What’s going on in your mind.

You complain of me not being there
But you don’t know how much I really am
I try to put on a happy face
When you come and see me.

I imagine how much hurt you must have felt
But really I have no clue
I wish that I could understand
How much pain you’re in

Still you won’t be truthful
To your parents
Or to me
I really don’t know how much longer I can take this.

I’m only a kid
I need to do kid things
I wonder if you’ll still be there
When I’m in need of you.

I hope you know I’m here
I need you as much as you need me
If you need my help
I’m but a phone call away.

There’s always something we regret
And mine is keeping my silence
I know you just want us to be there
I pray and hope for you.

Wont you let us help you?
Please o let me please
I want to help you
I’m still not sure how much longer I can take this.

I sit and wait
For you to come to me
To let me listen
And hear all your fears.

I know I shouldn’t be so hurt
By the things you say and do
You’re tearing me apart
I don’t know what to do.

You’re part of our family
Your dear to us all
I will always be here when you come to call
I don’t know how much longer I can take it.
