Well I know you laid down to cry
And I know why
You hid your tears from me
In your sheets, I’m sorry

Cuz there are words and clips and phrases I should have said
To you when you were lying in my bed
I know now how to soften the skin
I feel real when we sway

Stand right by me
You’re the lesson I need
and I hope that you can save me

Well I saw your emotions held back
You gotta let it go sweetheart, just let it go
Well I don’t know how you’re so strong
You gotta let it go sweetheart, just let it go

Cuz there are words and clips and phrases I should have said
To you when you were lying in my bed
I know now how to soften the skin
I feel real when we sway

Stand right by me
You’re the lesson I need
and I hope that you can save me
