For a Friend

He's been looking for a way to escape reality
So many years he spent inside the sanctuary
Praying and hoping for the one thing that he ever wanted
As soon as things were looking up, it started crashing on him
Like what were you expecting from him? He's losing his purpose
He feels defeated and he feels his life is kind of worthless
Can't you see that he just wants to be respected and loved
But everybody around don't seem to give a-
You know what I was going to say
You don't see him anyway
He thought about leaving Earth almost everyday
He thought "What if something happened, would they be ok?
Or are they better off though I didn't even stay?"
When he was younger, he always wanted someone to love
But now he's older, realized how it's all messed up
He's the big 2-1 but sees him giving up
Though he's telling everyone he knows to trust in God

I tried
And I tried
Not to change
The person I was
But I live
And I die
But I don't know what's the cause

Tell me where were you?
When I needed love
I don't have anyone
So tell me where were you?
(Where were you)

So where were you when he needed you the most?
He wrote a couple songs, least you could do, listen close
He was calling out for help, falling as a Christian
He was the woman at the well, and nobody listened
He never saw himself ever being the type to party
Yet, there he is at the scene looking for a barbie
Doesn't believe in love, he's just tryna hook up
He's becoming the man that he's always been afraid of
Things are building up, at any moment he can go
So if you see him, tell him you love him or he'll leave home
Cause he already feels, as if he's six feet down below
You can read it on his face but, yet nobody knows

I tried
And I tried
Not to change
The person I was
But I live
And I die
But I don't know what's the cause
(Where were you)
