You don't have to be so scared You don't have to go tonight I just need to hold on tight One hell of a ride And we lost it all just now To the nights that left you out So we'll let this go somehow But you're gonna be proud (so proud) And I just needed you to pick me up Like you did when we were younger When the lightning and the thunder Had me clinging to your heart For someone To lift me up When I'm down and I'm forgotten You'll forever be my father And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one How can I fit all these words Into such a simple verse It's the last time that we'll speak So listen to me please I just needed you to pick me up Like you did when we were younger When the lightning and the thunder Had me clinging to your heart For someone To lift me up When I'm down and I'm forgotten You'll forever be my father And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one Did you know that you're my heart And it hurts to be apart And this cut it hurts so deep So sing me to sleep
