Peter Greenidge - Be Known Lyrics

A lifetime spent on nothing but trying to change yourself
The weight of shame is crushing but don't dare estrange yourself, from me
I see a hope long gone, a fear of love, a hatred for the dawn
Yeah I've played that role, but I love your soul, and it deserves to be known
Maybe strength is asking for help
Maybe there's a life that you still haven't felt
Really none of us have all of it together
Life can and will get better
Just be known
Just be known
I understand suppressing all of your deepest problems
Trust me it's just more depressing, let yourself blossom
Yeah I'm here for you, Yeah I know the truth, I can see the pain you cling so tightly to
Yeah I've lived that life, Yeah I've held that knife but it don't make things better
Maybe strength is asking for help
Maybe there's a life that you still haven't felt
Really none of us have all of it together
Life can and will get better
Just be known
Just be known
Darkened eyes
Everything you've tried
Leaning towards suicide
But we need your life
You have tears to cry
I don't need you to hide
Yeah, I know it's hard
Yeah, I've seen your scars
Life leaves us all a little marred
But I'm here for you
Please know the truth
You weren't made to do this alone
And we're here for you
Yeah we're here for you
Please know that I'm here for you
Whenever you need me
Maybe strength is asking for help
Maybe there's a life that you still haven't felt
Really none of us have all of it together
Life can and will get better
Just be known
I want to know you
My friend
