My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide `cause I`ll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will.

X girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her 7 years for being sad.

I love all of you, hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too, when you don`t know yourself.

My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express this emptiness.

Imagine me taught by tragedy
Release is peace.

I heard a little girl, and what she said was something beautiful
To give your love, no matter what. That`s what she said.
