You Think

You think nothing's wrong
It seems like he is alright
You think he is ok
That he has no problems
Then you really start to look at him
And you see
He has more problems then you think
He is not alright
You read the things he writes 
And you see
That maybe he is not ok
Maybe more than nothing's wrong
You think you knew him
If only you had seen
To help this helpless life
You think you knew him
But really you didn't know him at all
