I've Felt Your Pain Before

I’ve felt your pain before,
I’ve already fought and lost that war,
I promise in me you can always confide,
And on my shoulder you always can cry,
I know what it’s like to look back and it’s gone,
Like your past never existed you had it all wrong,
And I know what it feels like when your heart is ripped out,
And when the hole is filled in with sadness and doubt,
The pain so great you can hardly take,
And you can’t sleep because the nightmares keep you awake,
When you cry until you have no more tears,
When the world brings to life all of your fears,
When you quiver and shutter because it hurts too much,
And you pray for the warmth of their so gentle touch,
I know the feeling of wishing you weren’t alive,
And that there was a ledge off which you could dive,
I know what it’s like to feel their ghost just behind,
Like a message their sending that seems so sublime,
I know what it’s like to want to scream out in pain,
To want to pull out your hair because you’re going insane,
And it’s not going to get better it will only get worse,
Until the day you find peace in a short ride in a hearse,
And I know that no one can know the pain you have felt,
But I promise that this is something with which I have dealt,
I know what it’s like to hate everything you see,
Trust me I’ve been there it’s just like you’re me.
