how long can this go on?
how long before you don't want to get up out of bed?
where are the angels, and how can they leave you so alone?
so weary and worn inside and out

peeling back layers, i'm feeling the weight this far away.
it's stealing the favor from me fast.

i am with you, holding your heart.
it's too heavy inside your delicate skin.
i am with you, but it tears me apart.
i can't hold you to blame for somebody
else's sin.

don't wait any longer, you're not gonna hear apologies.
just swallow the bullshit with a spoonful of salt to kill the seed.
it's gonna get better when you learn to love you like i do.
you're worth the trouble it takes to pull you through.

i am with you, holding your heart.
it's too heavy inside your delicate skin.
i am with you, but it tears me apart.
i can't hold you to blame for somebody
else's sin.

you should know, i've got my own.
i can't hold you up alone.
i can't mend or heal your heart,
but i can be your welcome home.
