I got a shame buried inside Wellin' up, can no longer hide But I don't know why Maybe someone gave it to me All of the symptoms are plain to see And it come up lies Give your heart a smile And sit with me for awhile Cause you were only a child When you started on this pile And there ain't no one there can help With your fists clenched against yourself So come and sit with me awhile We never notice, we never tell And our whole world is burning like hell And we curse the sky But it's in the river running beneath Ain't no one to blame cause there ain't no one can see How it came to life Give your heart a smile And sit with me for awhile Cause you were only a child When you started on this pile And there ain't no one there can help With your fists clenched against yourself So come and sit with me awhile There's nothing to hate and nothing to take It's closer than that, we just made a mistake And there is no why So give your heart a smile And sit with me for awhile Cause you were only a child When you started on this pile And there ain't no one there can help With your fists clenched against yourself So come and sit with me awhile So pour your heart out on your sleeve Cause you see it's only me And I'm not looking for a cure Or elaborate fantasy And don't run off and hide your fears I just love you cause you're here So come and sit with me awhile
