Sweetheart, come sit closer,
lay your head on my shoulder.
Take off the smile, you look tired.
Let me listen to your silence.
It's okay if you can't find words.

Count on me, I won't leave you alone.
If you need, I will be your home.
I will forget that my heart knows to feel.
If it helps yours remember to breathe.
Stay, until you know you aren't weak.

Hold on, this darkness will fade away.
Joy will come back to you one day.
Wait until you find a reason to thrive.
I promise I will walk with you
until you conquer these fears and rise.
