beside you
Thursday, July 21st, 2016When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
When it’s in your spine like you’ve walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while
And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll be right beside you
When you’re overwhelmed and you’ve lost your breath
And the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they’ve never been so loud
And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
I’ll be right beside you
I will stay.
Nobody will break you, yeah.
Trust in me, trust in me.
Don’t pull away
Just trust in me, trust in me.
‘Cause I’m just trying to keep this together,
‘Cause I could do worse and you could do better
Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
Nobody will break you
And if your heart wears thin, I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I’ll be right beside you
Nobody will break you.
