I’ll Try

frustration in your voice
confusion in your thoughts
the aching in your broken tone
i’m at a loss for words
i want to give you hope
but all you hope is to come home

i just want to be with you to hold you close
if you cry tonight, cry on me
wet my shoulder with your sorrows
and i’ll try tonight, try and see

it hurts to hear you hurt
i ache to feel your aching
is there anything that i can do
all you can do is yearn
while i just lie here waiting
and i’m burning just to be with you

i just want to be with you to hold you close
if you cry tonight, cry on me
wet my shoulder with your sorrows
and I’ll try tonight, try and be

just close your eyes
imagine me there
wiping your tears softly to and fro
resting my lips
next to your ear
whispering dear that i love you so

i just want to be with you to hold you close
if you cry tonight, cry on me
wet my shoulder with your sorrows
and i’ll try tonight, to set you free
