On Your Own

I look back and I think

That I know when it started

The time we came back home from school

And found you locked in the closet

It was really when you hid inside your room for three days

That we realized and theorized this wasn't a phase

You got bitten by the teeth

And you always felt the need

A never-ending hunger you're unable to feed

Left a shadow of the person that I used to call my friend

In the end, I just wish that I could see him again

I'm not sure you can hear me

Because you're on the edge

Step back and you can be free

To let the light back in

I know there will be times where you feel hopeless

But you've got all my help to fix what's broken

Reach your hand out from below

You're not on your own

We grew up, cut me off

And I watched from a distance

But then we got a job together and I knew in an instant

That this problem we all thought you had became an addiction

And when I try to bring it up

Well, you don't want to admit it

I've spent a lot of nights

I lay awake in bed

Cause I still have these thoughts

Running through my head

I wanna know how I can get back my friend

In the end, I'd do anything to see him again

I'm not sure you can hear me

Because you're on the edge

Step back and you can be free

To let the light back in

I know there will be times where you feel hopeless

But you've got all my help to fix what's broken

Reach your hand out from below

You're not on your own

Go back, try to change things

Would you do things differently?

Would you leave behind the habits

You depend on desperately?

Cause I've always had your back

And I know it's hard to see

When your memories are hazy

And you've lost sight of your dreams

If we somehow changed things

Would you find that you are freed

Of the drugs and all the pills

That you've convinced yourself you need?

Because I've still got your back

But I know it's hard to see

You forgot how to dream

I'm not sure you can hear me

Step back and you can be free

I'm not sure you can hear me

Because you're on the edge

Step back and you can be free

To let the light back in

I know there will be times where you feel hopeless

But you've got all my help to fix what's broken

Reach your hand out from below

You're not on your own

Reach your hand out from below

You're not on your own
