Stand Right Up
I see you standing there,
Tearing yourself apart.
You’re wrecking your life,
And burning my heart.
I see you through the bars,
But I just can’t find a way.
No way to pass them,
Oh hey.
Stand right up,
Run away.
Turn around,
Come to day.
Leave it down,
Make it quick.
There’s no time,
There’s no trick.
You know I really love you,
And you’re really hurting me.
You’ve got to stop,
And leave this stuff be.
You know I wait,
For you to walk.
My arms are open,
It’s not just talk.
Stand right up,
Run away.
Turn around,
Come to day.
Leave it down,
Make it quick.
There’s no time,
There’s no trick.
And my heart burns more,
With each moment that you sit.
I want to cry,
Hurts more than a bit.
Please try for me,
I know you can.
If you’re still in there,
You can break free.
Run as hard as you can,
Fight as hard as you can fight.
I know you’re still in that body,
Break away and come to the light.
Stop hurting yourself,
And making yourself a slave to those things.
When it hits hit it back,
Think hard and use your wings.
Stand right up,
Run away.
Turn around,
Come to day.
Leave it down,
Make it quick.
There’s no time,
There’s no trick.
