PLEASE BE THERE
WHEN I OPEN UP MY EYES
I STILL SEE YOU IN MY MIND
LIKE A GHOST IN EVERY ROOM
I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND TRY
AND COUNT TO TEN OR
I WILL KEEP THEM SHUT FOREVER
IF I CAN JUST SEE YOU AGAIN

I TOLD MYSELF A LIE TODAY:
I AM DEFINITELY NOT OKAY
IF I SHUT MY EYES
AND WISH REAL HARD
REALLY THINK IT THROUGH
WITH ALL MY PAIN
AND ALL THE SHAME
CAN YOU PLEASE JUST BE THERE
WHEN I OPEN THEM UP AGAIN?

BEST FRIEND, MY ONLY FRIEND
A LOVE THAT WAS UNSPOKEN
THE TIME WE HAD WAS PRECIOUS;
BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LIVE
IN THIS AWFUL PLACE
WITHOUT YOUR SWEET FACE
AND WITH A SHATTERED HEART
SO SAD AND BROKEN?

I MISS YOU, TIKI PAGANINI
