when the darkness in your head
is seeping into your bed
and you're falling in a bottomless sea,
darling, i'll hold you close,
toes tucked against toes,
and you can share a smile with me.
when you've crumbled to the floor
and have pushed at pull doors
and you think you won't ever be free,
i'll take you by the hand
and stay here till you stand
and you can share a smile with me.
when you pretend you're okay
(even when you're not okay)
because that's who you 'have' to be,
i'll tell you that you're dumb
and don't have to be anyone
and you can share a smile with me.
when you think there's no leaving
and find it hard to keep breathing,
i'll look at you and tell you what i see:
you hold all the stars in the sky -
you hold all the stars in your eyes -
and you can share a smile with me.
