I guess you've seen me here when I come around
Face in my beer, I never make a sound
I'd really love to talk, but the fear gets in the way
And I've got a lot more that I've got to fear than I could ever say
Then I see you cry, like some desperate child alone
I see you stare, and he doesn't even know how he makes you feel
And even if he did he'd never let it show
Try to smile, 'cause it doesn't really matter, no
I've sorta got my body, kinda got my mind
Played in a band in the days behind
I really loved to play, but the beer got in the way
'Cause I had a lot more that I had to fear than I could ever say
Then I see you cry, like some desperate child alone
I see you stare, and he doesn't even know how he makes you feel
And even if he did he'd never let it show
Try to smile, 'cause it doesn't really matter, no
I'm not gonna fade without a fight
(I'm not gonna fade without a fight)
And I'm gonna hold you when you cry
(We'll be together, you and I)
Well, I'll be beside you, you'll be alright
But I don't feel up to telling you tonight
No, I don't feel up to telling you tonight
Clearing my tab, guess it's time to go
Wrap myself up tight for the bitter walk home
I try to say goodbye, but a tear gets in the way
And as the years go flying by, I guess I'll wait another day
Can't you see me cry, like some desperate child alone
Can't you see me stare, and you'll never even know how you make me feel
And even if you did you'd never let it show
Try to smile, 'cause it doesn't really matter
I'm not gonna fade without a fight
(I'm not gonna fade without a fight)
You're gonna hold me when I cry
(You're gonna hold me when I cry)
I'm not gonna fade without a fight
(I'm not gonna fade without a fight)
You're gonna hold me when I cry
(We'll be together, you and I)
You'll be beside me, I'll be alright
But I don't feel up to telling you tonight
No, I don't feel up to telling you tonight
Tonight...
