Lean on me, when you're not strong

You have built yourself a fine fortress
And you're the only one who holds the key
You've resolved to pilot your own ship
And you decide what all the rules will be

No more asking for answers
No more cries for help
You've been hurt for the last time
That's what you tell yourself

It's a drag, living life like this
Believe me, I've been there a thousand times
Spending every day on the defense
And building walls no one could ever climb
Till somebody showed me my fortress was a cage
He granted me my freedom
Since then I haven't been the same

So you can lock me out
Of your life as you've designed it
But I know there's peace and I'll be on my knees
Until the day you find it

I don't know much more than that
But I know Someone who does
I was not there in your past
But I know Someone who was
I can't heal what lies within
I can't fully understand
But I know Someone who can
I know Someone who can
I know Someone,
I know Someone

I've always wanted to be the strong one. The one who could carry your burdens, make you smile when life gets hard, hold you when you're afraid. But no matter how I try, I feel so limited sometimes. So helpless, especially when I run out of answers, when I don't know how to make things better, or lessen your pain. I guess, no matter how hard I try to be the bestest friend I could be, I will never be able to be that ideal friend that everyone looks for (myself included).

Truth is, there isn't one person that can ever be. We are all humans. Humans create problems, humanity is the problem. Many can promise that they'll be there for you always, but how many actually are able to fulfill what they've promised? As much as I want to be there for my friends 24/7, whenever they need someone, but it's beyond me. If I ever could wish for a superpower, it would be omnipotence. (Haha) I have so much more to learn, with regards to being a better friend.

Though I've no special powers/abilities, well...I have two shoulders and a pair of ears? (: But I realised that sometimes, after a certain point, all I can do, is point them to You.
