Sadness is a Weight Lyrics

you say you don't know
if these cuts will stay closed
my hand will lay open
by your bed railing
waiting for yours
tangled up in wires
it's hard for me to get you to smile
this loneliness keeps you awake
in the darkness it tastes like blame
but you've done nothing wrong

i would stretch out the sunlight
across your hospital room
with hope to find you
we'll repair your lifeline
bright with colors to make you feel brand new
you feel like your nothing
like you could disappear
but i would give you anything
to have you look at me
like you'll see my face again
don't say that it will not change
don't say that you'll fade away
you've got so much to give

so hold on, hold on, you'll make your way out of this soon
so hold on, hold on, have faith in the heart inside of you

when your sadness brings you down
i'll lift that weight right off your skin
