With your eyes at the sidewalk,
You can’t focus on the good.
You don’t notice all your traits,
When I know you really should.
You think life is just a waste.
A disappointment ’til the end,
When I’m here to clarify the plus,
With these lyrics that I send.
A beautiful mind is what you have,
A kind soul you’ve been granted.
You’ve looked past the evil downfall,
With the many you’ve been handed.
You overcame the high fences
That grew on these roads.
You’ve struggled to smile
Through all those lies you’ve been told.
Well, here comes the truth,
That all things bad will soon end.
Because you’ve inspired this song,
the day you became my friend.
You can’t focus on the good.
You don’t notice all your traits,
When I know you really should.
You think life is just a waste.
A disappointment ’til the end,
When I’m here to clarify the plus,
With these lyrics that I send.
A beautiful mind is what you have,
A kind soul you’ve been granted.
You’ve looked past the evil downfall,
With the many you’ve been handed.
You overcame the high fences
That grew on these roads.
You’ve struggled to smile
Through all those lies you’ve been told.
Well, here comes the truth,
That all things bad will soon end.
Because you’ve inspired this song,
the day you became my friend.
