stand tall
written by darktinkerbell02:02 AM 11/3/04I know it hurts
you're dying slowly inside
I can feel it no matter
how hard you try to hide it
you're hesitant to let me help you through it
you've always been the strong one
you take care of me, right?
why does the big brother
always have to take care of
the little sister?
while you're hurting
I'm hurting with you
I hate that you're hurting
if I could take all the pain
you have
and put it all in my body
I would
I know how it feels
and you know I'm here for you
if you need me....
so why don't you grasp the hand
that is reaching out for you?
why do you have to live up
to the whole
"I'm a bad-ass future marine"
and
"I'm not weak"
well, maybe you're not
but right now
you do need me
and if you're not willing to admit that
go ahead...
fool everyone else
but you know you're not fooling me
if you want I'll watch from a distance
but if you want to fool them
and be a total "bad ass"
then do it
don't bow down
to the emotional pain
it's weak, right big brother?
swallow your pride
and mine in you
break your little sister's heart
just to live up to your image
stand tall
if you can do it. |
