Make-Up
Once I was in love with a girl
Or at least that's what I thought
The sun revolved around her, she was my world
And she was everything I'd want
But I hid myself behind friendship and fear
And she burned me with the boys that she chose
I wouldn't trade that pain for anything
Because I call that pain my own
So if you hear this and you know who you are
I hope your dreams have come true
But most of all I hope you found someone
Whose sun revolves around you
Once I had a friend now that friend is gone
I can't remember what the last thing I said to him was
He'd make me laugh and I'd make him laugh too
His name was Ryan and I miss him a lot
He moved away when we were too young
He killed himself when we were only sixteen
I've written songs for him to try to figure it out
But sometimes singing doesn't change anything
So if there's a heaven, and I hope that there is
I pray to God you'll be there
So I can see you and we can laugh again
And forget about the last thing that I said
Among these pains there's so much more I could say
But I don't see the point of dwelling on all that anyway
When I have friends and loved ones all around me
A hint of faith in things I can't see
A little sister whose light I can't live without
A band of brothers who keep me sane when in doubt
A holy spirit whispering my name in the breeze
A ragged figure moving from tree to tree
So if I dwell on all the things that I've lost
I'll never see what I have
Never know the ones who show me love everyday
The ones who make the pain feel okay
