"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

If you burned all your bridges
with no one left to care
if you made your friends hate you
I promise I'd be there

If several bad things happened
broken hearts and broken bones
but you can't get lost in sadness
cause you'll never be alone

If you lost your faith in living
I'd try to bring it back
so you could have the hope for love
that I would always lack

If your nightmares were now walking
and you lost all family
I'd take your hands and kiss your mouth
and say "You still have me."
