lyrics

My friend Chris taught me how to survive
When the loneliness would eat me alive
I was hiding in the corner of the night
When he came along

His words made a light in the cold
And by his flame I found fire of my own
And I could see I wasn’t alone
With those dark thoughts

And I was freed
So freed
All we need
Is someone else who sees
Someone else who believes

Chris saw the best in you
When you weren’t sure if you’d ever get through
He showed you what a song could do
That It could say it all

So tell me why’d you leave me here
With all your black words ringing in my ears
You were crying out for years
And no one saw

But we grieved
And we grieved
Did you need
Somebody else to see
Somebody else who believed

My friend Chris, how’d you fall in that void
When I got out only following your voice
How could you not see the choice
That you showed me

And even if I couldn’t save you
I’ll spend my life tryna help them get through
I'll pick up the pen you knew
And you can sleep

Cause you’re free
You’re free
Now I see
I’ve got a life to lead
I’ll be the one who believes

You held the light for me
That's all I hope to be
