"I'm tired of pretending,
I'm tired of having to lie.
I'm sick of being who I'm not,"
she says as she lays down to cry.
"I know you're tired,
and you feel like you're done.
But baby this isn't the end,
your life has merly just begun.
"You can't throw in the towel,
you've gotta keep your head high.
Be true and be yourself,
baby you don't have to cry."
He tilts her chin up,
and wipes her tears.
"Baby don't cry,
you got nothing to fear."
She smiles weakly,
as he smiles back.
He gives her support,
when it's confidence she lacks.
He's her knight,
in shining armour.
He keeps her grounded,
like a heavy anchor.
The sun shines bright,
as a new day begins.
For them to walk together,
the very best of friends.
"You have such a future,
lying straight ahead.
So together we'll start the journey,
get you're *** outta bed."
She smiles again,
a little more convincing now.
As he hoists her up,
and he'll never let her down.
