What I will do
I won’t tell you what you want to hear
just to say it
I will tell you how you have changed my life
I won’t praise your work when you are insecure
just to make you feel better
I will show you how to believe in yourself
I won’t be who you want me to be
just to be near you
I will be who you want to be with
I won’t read what you think I should
just to have something to talk about
I will show you new things that I have read
and expand our knowledge together
I won’t listen to your band
just to please you
I will listen to anything to please myself
I won’t be for you
what you should be to yourself
I will tell you what you mean to me
I will encourage you to be everything to yourself
I will stand by you when others have walked away
I will pick you up when you think you are alone
I will see you when no one else does
