[Lyric] Dear Friend (Shannon Lyons)

[Verse 1]
Your veins are flowers, cut open to bloom
And I wish I could see you, but you won't leave your room
And I want to tear down these walls and rescue you
I hope you enjoy the quietness because I'm deafened by the silence

[Bridge]
Waiting
Waiting

[Verse 2]
I'll be sat here patiently
Longing to see you again
Longing to feel my heart beat again
My dear friend, I want you to be okay
I'm sorry I didn't know how to save you

[Verse 3]
I wish I could clear these thoughts that linger in your mind
Because if I could take it all away you know I would
And you want to scream for help but you forgot how to breathe
I'll help you find your voice if you show me your face again
[Verse 4]
I wish I could fight your battle for you
I wish I could heal your wounds
I wish I could put your mind at rest
But now there's hardly anything left of you

[Verse 5]
'Cause you're slipping away
Yeah, you're fading away
Oh, but please come back I need you here
I don't have many people left my dear

[Bridge]

[Verse 6]
And if there's a God above;
Then why does he let people like you hurt?
What did you do to deserve this pain?
Please make it all just go away
Go away
Go away
Go away
