Outside it was a sunny day,
It was warm but you were cold anyway,
I offered you my sweatshirt,
But you said no.
You said that it was quite the dark,
As we walked the lane of that sunny park,
Me and the sunshine begged to differ,
But you said we were wrong.
I am sorry I couldn't see it at first
Lost in my own youthful thirst
And I couldn't see it through
But now I am seeing through
So I ask:
May I help?
Could I try?
For it hurts to see you cry
Behind that smile
Of sorrow
I assure you there will be better tomorrows
So don't give up
Take my hand
I assure you that I
Understand
But why can't you understand?
That I'd just like to help.
Could I give a helping hand?
For my friend;
I'd just love to see your smile again.
Perhapse even hear you laugh again.
Watch you be happy all over again.
Why can't you understand?
That I'd love to help.
I am sorry I got lost in the stars
Looking away from the bruises and scars
That you covered with your sleeves
Later you used make-up
And excuses that you made up
And I couldn't see it through
But now I am seeing through
So I ask:
May I help?
Could I try?
It hurts to see you cry
Behind that smile
Of sorrow
I assure you there will be better tomorrows
So don't give up
Take my hand
I assure you that I
Understand
But why can't you understand?
That I'd just like to help.
Could I give a helping hand?
For my friend;
I'd just love to see your smile again.
Perhapse even hear you laugh again.
Watch you be happy all over again.
Why can't you understand?
That I'd just like to help.
I know how it feels
To feel hapless
I know how it feels
To feel helpless
So if you could just
Give a little trust
In me
Maybe I
Could once more help you see
The way
So I ask:
May I help?
Could I try?
It hurts to see you cry
Behind that smile
Of sorrow
I assure you there will be better tomorrows
So don't give up
Take my hand
I assure you that I
Understand
But why can't you understand?
That I'd just like to help.
Could I give a helping hand?
For my friend;
I'd just love to see your smile again.
Perhapse even hear you laugh again.
Watch you be happy all over again.
Why can't you understand?
That I'd just like to help.
I am sorry I couldn't see it at first
I am sorry I got blinded by thirst
I am sorry I got lost in the stars
I am sorry I took of into the skyes
I am sorry I couldn't see through the haze
I am sorry I couldn't see your true face
I am sorry I couldn't see your tears
I am sorry it took all of those years
