How could I be so blind?

I see those welts on your arm
And my mind begins to rush
All of your friends stare at you
Between us is an ominous hush

I knew all along it was coming
All those signs were so clear
You practically shoved it in our faces
But no one was willing to hear

Those troubles you’ve been having
They all began in your house
But eventually they spread elsewhere
Creeping on us like a mouse

The black gloves covering your arms
And a dazed look on your face
I wasn’t there when you needed me
Not there for you as a brace

But now that I know what’s going on
I hope you know I’m here for you
Friends never leave each others side
And together we’ll get through
