It's in these letters that we write   To our friends and family   Spilling secrets of our past   A brief history   Packed with pills, alcohol   And cuts that'll run so deep      So we must stand up   For the ones we love   And give them hope   Before they fall down      So they say, I've lost and I've found   And I've found no way out   Of this mess that we have made   So let me get this straight   You want out   Or just to leave town      So we must stand up   For the ones we love   And give them hope   Before they fall      And we must stand up   For the ones we love   And give them hope   Before they fall down
