Sadness Is A Weight

you say you don't know

if these cuts will stay closed

my hand will lay open

by your bed railing

waiting for yours



tangled up in wires

it's hard for me to get you to smile

this loneliness keeps you awake

and the darkness it tastes like blame

but you've done nothing wrong



i would stretch the sunlight

across the hospital room

for you hope to find you

we'll repair your lifeline

bright with colors to make you feel brand new



you feel like your nothing

like you could disappear

but i would give anything

to get you to look at me

like you'll see me again



i would stretch the sunlight

across the hospital room

for hope to find you

so hold on hold on

you'll make your way out of this soon

hold on hold on

have faith in the heart inside of you



when your sadness starts to weigh you down

when your sadness starts to bring you down

i'll lift that weight from off of your skin
