i wish i’d known
i wish you would’ve told me
it wasn’t too terrible
i would’ve been there when you called
but you didn’t tell me
—
now your scars have grown closed
no blood trails stain your arms
but my heart still bleeds
every time i remember
your unspoken pain
—
i can’t undo your mistakes or mine
but the past doesn’t have to be the future
i promise i’ll fight alongside
and help you bear your lonely burdens
i wrote Love on my arms for you
