| Now let me tell you about a girl I know
|
| Well not really, I met her on a tour stop outside of Philly
|
| She was front row, reached her hand so I could feel it
|
| I kept lookin' at her, she knew every single lyric
|
| It was dope
|
| I stuck around after the show to go and kick it with the fans
|
| Who come to see us on the road
|
| It was all love
|
| Bunch of pictures and hugs
|
| But that’s when I learned just how different she was
|
| See she was 19 and addicted to drugs
|
| And almost died last year
|
| Sometimes she wishes she was
|
| And she was cryin'
|
| Her brother was with her, he came too
|
| He nodded and he said that everything she’s saying’s true
|
| And then she said tonight was the best night of her life
|
| And even if it didn’t last, right now it feels right
|
| I looked her in the eyes, and put it on my life
|
| That we gon' work on this together
|
| And she gon' be alright, I know
|
| So when you feel alone in the night time
|
| Just know that you ain’t ever on your own
|
| Cause every body goes through the low oh ohs
|
| And I just want you to know oh
|
| Just know that I believe in you
|
| Like you believe in me
|
| Just know that I believe in you
|
| Like you believe in me
|
| Like you believe in me
|
| Yeah, yeah, like you believe in me
|
| See things happen in crazy ways
|
| I swear to god since that day I’ve changed my ways
|
| Now every day when I wake up I reach over
|
| Grab my phone, send a text to her
|
| To let her know she’s not alone
|
| And I promise that I won’t forget
|
| Cause on the real, it’s so sad, she’s so depressed
|
| And through our daily conversations
|
| What I’ve learned about depression
|
| Is that it’s hard to know the answers when you don’t know the questions
|
| Cause she don’t understand why she feels the way she does
|
| No matter what she tries, man it never is enough
|
| And a few months back for one night
|
| I felt the pain that she felt her whole life
|
| Cause she called and said that she was ready to go
|
| And said thanks for everything, but she was ready to go
|
| I said please don’t, there’s something you gotta know
|
| I wrote a song about you, and this is how it goes
|
| It was five hours later when we hung up
|
| She was tired and the sun was startin' to come up
|
| But yo, we spent that whole night just talkin' it through
|
| And at that point, there wasn’t much more I could do
|
| But what I did say, is that she needed to promise me
|
| She wouldn’t do anything crazy without callin' me
|
| And so far, man things have been better
|
| We talk way less cause things have been better
|
| And last time she called was my birthday night
|
| And it was the best gift i’ve gotten in my life
|
| She said remember that time when you sang me that song
|
| Without that night, I’d be way past gone
|
| So, thank you |
