Lyrics

Lean

I'm giving up on myself today
I found a cure for all the things I'm looking for
I'm finding color in black and grey
Put on my shoes and wondered just what I would do

Would you give it up for them?
Would you give it up for them?
Would you give it up for them?
I know you can't, I know you can't win
Is not how you thought it would be

Does your family know you're sick?
You need help and you can't quit
I'll be the shoulder if you need to lean
If you need to lean

I'm giving up on myself today
Lost what I had, is there a way to get it back?
I'll find rebuilding in slow decay
Take off my shoes to dip my toes in something new

Would you give it up for them?
Would you give it up for them?
Would you give it up for them?
I know you can't, I know you can't win
Is not how you thought it would be

Does your family know you're sick?
You need help and you can't quite
I'll be the shoulder if you need to lean

I imagine you're here saying
Darling' don't fear and stop acting this way
But I have to wait 'til I see your face and I'm ready to change

Would you give it up for them?
I know you can't, I know you can't win
Is not how you thought it would be

Does your family know you're sick?
You need help and you can't quite
I'll be the shoulder if you need to lean
