I want to hold you
Whisper in your ears
That 'It'll be ok'.
I want to hold you
Whisper in your ears
That 'you're amazing'.
I want to hold you
Whisper in your ears
'Please don't give up'.
But
If Chinese Whispers
Have taught me anything
All the things I whisper
Will change upon
Entering your eardrums,
Soon 'it'll be ok', will be
'it'll never be ok',
'You're amazing' turns to
'you're nothing', and
'please don't give up',
turns to 'just give up',
But know that no matter
What you hear,
I will always be whispering
Into your ears
'I'm here for you'
and I'll always hold you.
