I once thought that
Having a lot of friends was so very, very important
But it's never quantity, it's quality
Because if they can't help, it's time to break out the anti-depressants

I once thought that
I was only as strong as my best friend
But being abandoned made me so much stronger
But now anger and sadness push me t'wards my end

I once thought that
No matter how bad things may seem
There will always be a light at the end of the tunnel
But sometimes that tunnel is so long that you can only dream

I once thought that
No matter how down I was or could be
You'd be around to help me through
I never thought you'd abandon me

I once thought that
I couldn't escape my nightmares
That sleep would be my worst enemy
But all I needed something as simple as someone who cares

I once thought that
I'd never be able to break these chains
But you helped me tear them from the walls
And, with smiles, we dove among the insane

I once thought that
That having in faith in something
Only worked in movies
Who knew that having faith in myself would help the healing

I once thought that
Hating myself for everything that happened
Would help when it all fell on my shoulders
But they all told me I was wrong, and all I was doing was running

I once thought that
Loving life was more important the anything in the world
But something else helped me more
That loving someone else made that world twirl
