As I was listening to the song you wrote last night
About a little boy who's been struggling to find a friend
I shed a tear, knowing he was me all along
You looked my way, who hurt you, you said
Denying all your words, breaking all assumptions
Hiding what was true, so I don't have to bother you
You had your arms linked to mine, you hold it tight and ask me again
Are you lonely? Can you hold on till the sun starts rising again?
I mean, who hurt you? Who dares to draw tears in your eyes?
The sight of you crying, the way you're denying
Repeat what you're saying, cause the world could be that mean
I've said it before, I'd be first to come home
Look at me, should I beat up the world for you?
You were there, when I don't know where to go
Having you as a human shield just doesn't feel right anymore
But I was wrong, cause I've been breathing to the beat of your song
You're the reason that I stay, even when I'm out of stories
Denying all your words, breaking all assumptions
Hiding what was true, so I don't have to bother you
You had your arms linked to mine, you hold it tight, but I'm asking you
Are you lonely? Can you hold on till the sun starts rising again?
I mean, who hurt you? Who dares to paint tears in your eyes?
The sight of you crying, the way you're denying
Repeat what you're saying, cause the world could be that mean
I've said it before, I'd be first to come home
Look at me, should I beat up the world for you?
I'm in your embrace, and you were in mine
We don't have to mind, we know we'll be fine
Not so long ago, I thought you'd let me go
I've nowhere to go, cause you were my home
You had your arms linked to mine, you hold it tight, and I'm no one at all
We're not lonely, we will hold on till the sun starts rising again
Don't you worry, cause you've done the same it's for me to do
I would beat up the world for you
The world for you
