I cannot carry your burden
but if I lighten the load
do you think it would be worth it
to stay a little more

I can't go back to protect you
I cannot fix all your brokenness
but if I sit hear here and listen, do you think love can do the rest

all this running, just avoiding the pain
don't you wish you could send it back where it came

if I could wipe a single tear then I'd know what I'm doing here, doing here

don't worry you're not imposing
I'm sorry they made you feel that way
I wish you knew you were precious
cause if you did, you'd never let them talk to you that way

can't say that I have the answers
I've got more questions than most
but if no one said it, ""love you""
and that's all I need to know

all this hiding, you've been numbing the pain
what's the deal when there are no words to explain

I wasn't there then but I'm with you now and I promise that I'll stick around, stick around

stick around,
stick around,
stick around, stick around"
