Sat There

Why do you just stay

Sat in that chair

In a dark dark room

Do you like it in there?

 

I know for a fact

You really don't

But when i ask you to move

You say you wont

 

Why wont you listen

I want to help

Don't make me leave,

Leave you to yelp

 

I try to touch you

You bat me away

It doesn't seem to matter

What I say

 

You just stay

Sat in that chair

I begin to think

you must like it there

 

I want to take you

Out of the dark

To see the birds and the bees

The dogs and the lark

 

Maybe it's hopeless

But I wont give in

You dont deserve it,

Have commited no sin

 

So take my hand

Just like before

Only this time

I'll help you more

 

I'll give you what you need

And that I swear

Lean on me all you want

I'll always care

 

I just ask one thing

If you leave me behind

For better or worse

I'll always be kind

 

No matter what you do

No matter what you say

No matter whether you hurt me

I'll wait here every day

 

If you ever come back

I dont know that you will

But if you ever do

I know that we'll

 

Be just like before

No words need be spoken

You can be happy

You're no longer broken.
