lyrics

When people mention most
How nice you always are
They are all tongue-in-cheek
Pointing out you're naive

It's not a compliment

Staying in his back pocket
Isn't looking out for him
You know to beware the words
That he loves to depend on you

That isn't what he meant

I don't want you to be swallowed whole
I don't want you to let me go
And I can try and put myself in your shoes
But we all know I could lose you

Life will not always be
As tolerable as it has been
But you must stay heart-strong
Don't dwell on the past this long

Please just lean on me

Platitudes work sometimes
When there's a wound so deep
The truth that we all know
Can't heal the scars we keep

That's not how it should be

I don't want you to be swallowed whole
I don't want you to let me go
And I can try and put myself in your shoes
But we all know I could lose you
