You were always the strong one

The one with all the answers

You were always the rock

We clung to through the storm

Now I look into your eyes

And all I see is shattered glass

The windows of your soul

Smashed beyond repair

What is it that stops you reaching out

To those who are here for you

Do you think we will betray your trust

By walking away

It’s like you’re in a fortress

Walled about with stone and iron

Pride, or fear, or guilt

Holding us at bay

So I’m knocking that drawbridge down

Demanding you let me in

So hard to see you like this

So utterly wrong

Please lean on me now

As I’ve always leaned on you

Let us mend the shattered windows

Together
