I know, even if you act like it’s nothing,
that you’re waiting, and that I can’t do anything
about the sadness in your eyes
even as you force a smile,
I can feel it.

It’s fine, you don’t have to say sorry.
It’s enough just having you
by my side, you don’t need to say it.
No, it’s fine, I’ll listen
if it helps you feel better.

I’m not your man,
but keep an eye on me.
I’m not the one that’s yours,
even if I can’t hold you,
I’m a man with a sturdy back
who can take you home.
I’ll take you home,
just lean on me.
