You say I don't understand, I tell you I do, I know what you're going through So you shut me out, and I take it in Can't figure out what to do I tell you it's wrong, you say you know, But you're still choosing this path to follow You take to the road, and leave me to think Could I have stopped you from going? Stand up tall, don't you raise your white flag in the air Don't say it's too late to show how much I care Forgive me, maybe your road would have some different bends Had I known how to be your friend I tell you to change, you say you can't I couldn't hear what you really meant Your silent screams go over my head Disguised as indifference Stand up tall, don't you raise your white flag in the air Don't say it's too late to show how much I care Forgive me, maybe your road would have some different bends Had I known how to be your friend You don't need me to say this is not the right way, what you need is my hand I saw that look in your eyes that night and now I understand You don't want to hear what you shouldn't be doing, only now i see it Love is all, love is all you needed Love is all, love is all you needed Stand up tall, don't you raise your white flag in the air Share your burden with me I'm telling you now how much I care Forgive me, maybe your pain could have been a little less Had I known how to be your friend Please let me be your friend
