Some nights are darker than the others
Some friends think they’re your big brothers
Sometimes you need them, and the other times you don’t
Sometimes they’ll leave you be, but other times they won’t
Ask yourself why you need protection
From things that you know so well
Why they drown you in their affection
And then they’ll send you right to hell
Sometimes, my friends, you see, I must walk on my own
Take a path that can only be took if I take it all alone
You know that I’ve been shot before
My skin still has it’s holes
You know I’ve been through much more
I’ve walked on the hot coals
You can’t wrap me up in bubble wrap
And hope that I won’t get hurt
If you secure me from every mouse trap
Then what’s life really worth?
Don’t protect me from the endless pits
But catch me after I fall
If I scratch my knees after I trip
Then help me stand up tall
Because some nights are darker, I know
But I’ll get through every one of them
I’ll bounce back after every blow
And every time my strength will harden
I love you, my friends, I’ll never stop
And I’m glad to have you with me
But if I go through my steep life drops
Let life’s lips of pain just kiss me
