How Could You (from high school)

 How could you give up when you`re almost there

 When there`s just a little bit more to repair

 How could you just decide not to care

 When you sit on that hill

 The wind whistling through your hair

 I know it's there, buried deep inside you

 All you have to do is open up

 When all the world seems dark and dreary

 I wish I could make you bright and cheery

 Make the black clouds go away and

 The sun shine bright

 Show everybody that you

 Haven't lost the fight

 Please try to have courage

 When you ache with despair

 And when you think of me

 I hope you know that I care

 Just when you seem to be

 To your bitter end

 Please think of me

 Your faithful friend

 I know that deep down there`s something missing

 And I've been talking

 Were you listening?
