Anaïs Mitchell - When You Fall lyrics

Don't hold me tonight I can't stand this any longer Don't say everything's alright When you know there's so much wrong And don't say that you love me When you don't talk to me at all You're only here with me Cause I'm there for you when you fall At night I sit here drinking In front of the television blinking The dog's out in the kitchen She'll tip the garbage over again Outside the air is steaming I am barely even breathing It's still as a graveyard So if it's so hard Why do I keep on trying Don't hold me tonight I can't stand this any longer Don't say everything's alright When you know there's so much wrong And don't say that you love me If you don't talk to me at all You're only here with me Cause I'm there for you when you fall Last night I had a dream I saw you crying Your face was frozen in a shadow And as I reached out to hold you You were so cold I paint these little pictures With a temporary poison Each one just like the other I wonder why I even bother Cause you don't say that you love me You don't talk to me at all You're only here with me Cause I'm there for you when you fall You're only here with me Cause I'm there for you when you fall
