you know it tears me up inside
to see the feelings that you hide
hide inside that empty bottle
I wish you saw how great you were
I wish you saw what life was worth
you wouldn't have to hide your problems
and I don't care what you might think
I think you've had to much to drink
cant even talk when you're this way
runaway, runaway
but that won't make it any better
runaway, runaway
and make tomorrow
harder to live than today
there's so much out there you could miss
there's so much life out there to live
if you would just believe in yourself
there's a bright light shining inside you
it shines out through your eyes
don't throw it away, don't be afraid
don't hide
let it shine
you say you're looking for happiness
but when is comes, you runaway from it
you tell yourself you don't deserve it
there's so much more that i could do
now the rest is up to you
until you love yourself, you'll never change
you'll keep on running
until you deal with today
to see the feelings that you hide
hide inside that empty bottle
I wish you saw how great you were
I wish you saw what life was worth
you wouldn't have to hide your problems
and I don't care what you might think
I think you've had to much to drink
cant even talk when you're this way
runaway, runaway
but that won't make it any better
runaway, runaway
and make tomorrow
harder to live than today
there's so much out there you could miss
there's so much life out there to live
if you would just believe in yourself
there's a bright light shining inside you
it shines out through your eyes
don't throw it away, don't be afraid
don't hide
let it shine
you say you're looking for happiness
but when is comes, you runaway from it
you tell yourself you don't deserve it
there's so much more that i could do
now the rest is up to you
until you love yourself, you'll never change
you'll keep on running
until you deal with today

so i have this friend and he's always saying how horrible of a person he is. even though he really is an amazing person. he doesn't have a drinking problem or anything he just thinks he doesn't deserve his happiness. cause he has a great life. his only problem is that he thinks badly of himself sometimes. and if he could just see himself through my eyes he would finally see how great of a person he is.
i tell myself that i don't deserve my happiness sometimes too. and this same friend tells me how great of a person i am all the time. and i can't see how he can think that of me but think badly of himself. and it's really hard to see him bashing himself. i wish he would just believe me when i tell him how great he is. but i don't think he does. but the hardest thing is i think i know exactly how he feels cause i feel the same way sometimes too. i just don't know how he can think that of himself
I wish right now, that every time I cry, I could swap it for laughing and when I laugh I wish I could swap that for crying, coz right now I cry more often then I laugh!
I love you but you messed up my heart… and head.

amazing song.
Clearly the singer is singing to one of his friends who is depressed and trying to solve the problem by drinking, and the singer is worried about his friend and trying to help him/get him to get help. Fairly self explanatory, but a brilliant song.
