You’re ever close to the brokenhearted
With grieving you’re not displeased
Holding to this knowledge
I know you’ll not turn from me
You are compassionate when I’m downcast
Never distancing yourself from me
Always standing in the shadows
Calling out to me
I know I’m not expected to always be cheerful
To paste a smile upon my face
And I know regardless of my demeanor
Safe with you I have a place
When my spirit feels so crushed
I need not be so brave
As you’ll be right there beside me
My spirit to restore and save

You’re ever close to the brokenhearted
With grieving you’re not displeased
Holding to this knowledge
I know you’ll not turn from me
You are compassionate when I’m downcast
Never distancing yourself from me
Always standing in the shadows
Calling out to me
I know I’m not expected to always be cheerful
To paste a smile upon my face
And I know regardless of my demeanor
Safe with you I have a place
When my spirit feels so crushed
I need not be so brave
As you’ll be right there beside me
My spirit to restore and save
