When you're down
Feeling alone
Looking so absentminded
When holding yourself together
Takes everything you have
I'll hold you up
I'll show you I care
I'll be your saving grace
I won't let you go
Even when there's nothing left to hold onto
Even when you're down

I wrote this when my one friend was going through a really tough patch, she told me she felt alone. I wanted her to know that I would help her through it.
