You don't have to be so scared

You don't have to go tonight

I just need to hold on tight

For 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, when 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



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, When I'm forgotten

You'll forever be my father

And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one



I just needed you to lift me up

(I just needed) To lift me up

And I just needed you to lift 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, when 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
