I know what it’s like to feel alone
People on every side
But they don’t make a home

I know what it’s like to feel sick of being sick
On twenty different pills
To walk a block is a trip

I know what it’s like to have a parent with a tumor
Surgery is the cure
And thinking, “What if I lose her?”

I know that fear.

I know what it’s like to feel a secret jealousy
Seeing them shine
Ashamed to be me

I know what it’s like to fight an addiction
Caged by your desire
It becomes your religion

I know what it’s like for love to fill your heart
Go from ‘hello’ to ‘goodbye’
To live with the scars

I know what it’s like to try to end your life
Heaven’s better than here
Was the devil’s lie

I know what it’s like to feel anxiety
Oh God, can’t breathe

someone. help. me.

please.

I know what it’s like to be bullied at school
Oh, but they’re just kids
Kids can be cruel

I know what it’s like to lose someone close
Everything about them
Is what I miss most

Sure, I know what it’s like
But I won’t try
To tell you your pain
Will soon pass you by

I know what it’s like
But I’m not in your shoes
I know what it’s like
But won’t tell you what to do

I may think I know
What you’re going through
But my story is my own
I’m not you

Forgive me if I advise
If I step over the line
If I don’t realize
That it’s time

For me to stop talking and just listen

Because I know what it’s like to feel loved in that way
A friend who is present
Who listens and prays

Sure, I know what it’s like to feel so hurt
But I also know flowers grow from darkness
From the dirt

I know what it’s like to feel hope swell inside
Know good things are coming
After the sunrise

I know what it’s like
To feel someone can
Empathize

So I’m here for you
By your side

Just breathe and walk at your pace through
This life

And since I know rainbows come after the rain
I’ll hold your hand as you walk through the pain
I won’t tell you to walk quick, move on, you’re wrong
Make you feel shame

That’s just the enemy’s kind of game

I know what it’s like
So I’m going to be here
And pray to our God
For Him to be there

For you.

Till the next chapter,
