I'm looking into your eyes and you're not the same person anymore.
You've thrown your life away for a few fun nights.
To fit in, to be cool.
And I just want to say "stop."
Because I need you.
But you need me first.
But I'm too scared to let out a word.
For fear of isolation.
Is your life worth mine?

I really like this. I have just come across a problem with my friends just like this. But I realized I need to stop her from following the crowd. One day it is wearing skinny jeans, then it is smoking and drinking. The best advice is to talk to them.
