Dear Danny (RIP)

I wrote this song about a friend who committed suicide back in September. The song basically entails the weeks leading up to it and my thoughts on his passing a week after his funeral. Danny, wherever you are, I love and miss you so much, big bro.

Dear Danny
You are so beautiful
And I'm trying so hard
To see you clearly
I know you're scared
But I'm just the same
It's not your fault,
You're not to blame
Dear Danny
You are so beautiful

Dear Danny
Your secrets don't own you
No one knows you
Like I'm trying to
You're not messed up
We're all messed up
Life is rough,
But you know that
Dear Danny
Your secrets don't own you

Dear Danny
I know you're desperate
You're alone at night
And you don't like that
You hide behind your PC
Because you can't see what I see
You don't know who to turn to
When you're on the edge
Dear Danny
I know you're desperate

Dear Danny
You're not a monster
Stop crying, please
Your sighs won't help you
Your sadness is nothing to laugh at
I know it hurts, and I feel that
But nothing will ever change if Danny, you are
Staying the same

Dear Danny
You deserve much better
You put yourself through this
Constant negative thinking
With the lies and the make up,
And the way you walk
And your stupid friends
And the shit they talk
I just wanna save you
Dear Danny
You deserve much better

Dear Danny
You are so beautiful

I asked you once,
I asked you twice
Hang in there please
And you'll be just fine
But you had other things to tend to
Is it my fault you were found on the floor?

Dear Danny
You are so
Beautiful (x4)

Cause we can fly our kites in the summer
And we can rest our heads in the winter
But whatever the season, I swear, oh
Danny, I'll never let you go
