You call me baby

And I sleep on the right side of the bed

And you love me you love me you love me

You’ve got a smile that I keep

In my left side pocket 

And this feels like a long time coming

This love is soft and it’s 
hard to keep it all inside of me
And I know you get scared

Because sometimes his lack of love pushes its way back up into my throat and I push you away and you don’t get that
I’m just begging you not to go away
And I get scared

Cause for me love hasn’t always meant staying

With him love meant trying to fit myself into a mold that I didn’t belong in
And I see you with other girls whose smiles come easier and whose love comes nicer

And i get scared that one night you’ll want to have the right side of the bed 
to yourself again
But this love is soft and 
it’s meant to last

I’m here to stay if you are

I’m here to stay if you are.
