'Catch you before you fall'

I can understand how much you're hurting.
looking as you cower under their harsh stares.
It pains me to look at you so distressed.

Seeing how much you're hurting under that mask you wear.
I can't help but think the same way about your pain.
When you honestly care too much.
to the point of pushing yourself past the breaking point.

You cannot hide from me.
The pain, as though a blade is driven into your off beat heart.
You felt so alone.
Acting like you're made of stone.

Lost and without a clue where to begin.
That's not true.
I promise you're not invisible.
You're not alone.
This may hurt for now.
But if you reach, you'll be given a helping hand.
I swear it's true.

Maybe you were reaching in the wrong places.
If your were to reach for me...
I would pull you to your feet, and support you while you can't stand on your own.

I'll catch you before you hit the ground.
Won't even make a sound.
Wipe your tears, dry your eyes.
I don't want to watch you cry.

Happy thoughts,
I want to see you smile.
I've got you while you're falling apart.
My word is my bind.
If you decide to walk away, don't hesitate.

It's okay.
I was here to help you.
But always know, I will continue trying to lift others off the ground.
So they won't  the view world as I have.
They will be sunny and not so sad.
And they may suffer the bright light of joy.
That lives in their hearts.
