Everything to Me (a song)

Another tear drop falls
Another day drags on
When will the pain end?
Through her tears she's asking why

Why did this pain fall on me, God?
Why am I a failure with every step?
God, I'm searching for You
But every time I turn around
You're gone!

The driving rain falls hard
She's fallen to the ground
Forcing back the tears
Through the pain she's screaming out

Why did this pain fall on me, God?
Why am I a failure with every step?
God, I'm searching for you
But every time I turn around
You're gone!

And then she hears the voice
Whispering in her ear
"Dear child of mine, You're never alone.
I've never left you once. I've been here all along.
You say you've been searching, but I've been standing right here.
You turned around and I was there, but you wouldn't believe it.
I've been calling you, why haven't you answered?"

She wants to run and hide in shame
She can still hear the sound of her screaming . . .

Why did this pain fall on me, God?
Why am I a failure with every step?
God, I'm searching for You
But every time I turn around
You're gone!

But through her doubt, she still hears the voice
"Dear child, I'll never leave you.
You mean everything to me."~Black

Dear My Closest Friend

Dear my closest friend, I just want you to know, that I didn't want to leave you this way.
Dear my closest friend, I just want you to know, that you were never a problem.
Dear my closest friend, I just want you to know, that I would have stayed if only you begged me, if only you knew.
Dear my closest friend, I just want you to know, that even through this pain you were the only one who could make me smile.
Dear my closest friend, I just want you to know, that if you've ever hurt me, you've made up for it a million times.
Dear my closest friend, I just want you to know, you were the one thing I loved on this earth and the one thing that loved me.
Dear my closest friend, you are the only one I don't regret, the only one I wish I didn't have to part with, the only one who I could say always loved me.
And to my closest friend, I just want to say, I'm sorry.
