You left room to follow
Bitter tears to swallow
All your fear came
Cascading down
And you could not feel the ground
Heartbreak stood to greet you
Came close to defeat you
In a penny
In a pound
Your bruises don’t make a sound
It hurts to continue
Love blurry, out of view
How do you save
What can’t be found?
Wish I knew that right now
I cannot repair you
You’d never ask me to
I see bruises
Eyes tear bound
Yet you press on somehow
Darling, you are a song
Sorrowful, but so strong
I’ll whisper goodnight
Kiss your brow
And love the tearful clown

You left room to follow
Bitter tears to swallow
All your fear came
Cascading down
And you could not feel the ground
Heartbreak stood to greet you
Came close to defeat you
In a penny
In a pound
Your bruises don’t make a sound
It hurts to continue
Love blurry, out of view
How do you save
What can’t be found?
Wish I knew that right now
I cannot repair you
You’d never ask me to
I see bruises
Eyes tear bound
Yet you press on somehow
Darling, you are a song
Sorrowful, but so strong
I’ll whisper goodnight
Kiss your brow
And love the tearful clown
