If you ever saw me
Saw me for who I really am
You\'d back off
Why would you
A happy, joyful soul,
Want to be with me
A dark soul
Far away from the light
A deep soul
Easy to get lost in
A horrified soul
A soul afraid of life

Life hurts
Souls wont heal because you tell them to
They\'ll just get more hurt
Souls can\'t smile
Not like the mouth
Not forced
Souls can\'t pretend
Whatever might be in your soul
It\'ll shine through every little thing you do
In one way or another
It\'ll find a way
It always has
It always will

You can\'t save my soul
But I can protect yours
That\'s why I\'m closing myself in
And closing you out
I would never, ever want to see you hurt
I\'d do anything to rescue
The things that can still be rescued
My soul\'s scarred
Yours are not
My soul\'s dark
Yours are bright
You\'re my star
My light
My friend
