Reflection of a Friend

I can’t solve all your life’s problems and troubles
But I can help you while you find your own answers
I can’t take away the hurts you are unable to bear
But whenever you need me, I can always be there

I can’t do anything to stop this world from hurting you
But I can help you fight against the cruelty they do
I can’t heal the deep cuts you got from those you knew
But I can take your hand and promise to stand by you

I can’t tell you exactly where your destiny lies
But I can try to help you figure out your life
I can’t stop those tears forming in your eyes
But I can be the shoulder on which you can cry

I can’t bring back the one you once called your own
But I can try to make you smile, whenever you frown
I can’t stop your friends from leaving you all alone
But I can always try to heal all your deep wounds

I can’t do anything to stop them from walking away
But I can promise you that I am always here to stay
I can’t change the mistakes you made on your way
But I can assure you that tomorrow is another day

I can’t stop you from playing someone else’s part
But I can try to bring out the best in your heart
I can’t make you turn yourself away from the dark
But I can hold our friendship from drifting apart

I can’t promise to help you in life’s every aspect
But I can try to show you the all the right steps
I can’t stop the disclosing of the secrets you kept
But I can try to protect all that you have left

I can’t stop you from wishing your last breath
But I can bring back the laughs you now lack
I can’t stop you from following you own path
But I can only wait here for you to come back
