Don’t Lean on Me (Redux)

[Intro]

Let the ocean take me

[Verse 1]

You've gotta know, kid, that it ain't easy

To take on all of your grieving

Yeah, you gotta believe me

[Chorus]

Well, don't lean on me 'cause I am falling, please, don't fall with me

I really need you here, yeah, I need you, so don't leave

And don't count on me 'cause I am drowning, please, don't drown with me

Just hold me in your heart, let the ocean take me

Let the ocean take me

[Verse 2]

And you think I don't read every message that you send?

You think I turn a blind eye? You think I'm just like them?

It breaks my heart, all these stories; brings me to tears, all this grief

And I feel so fucking helpless when I can't be your relief

[Chorus]

Well, don't lean on me 'cause I am falling, please, don't fall with me

I really need you here, yeah, I need you, so don't leave

And don't count on me 'cause I am drowning, please, don't drown with me

Just hold me in your heart, let the ocean take me

[Bridge]

There is hope in my eyes, there is hope in these words

And there are far too many reasons for you to stay here on this earth

Stay with me

[Chorus]

Well, don't lean on me 'cause I am falling, please, don't fall with me

I really need you here, yeah, I need you, so don't leave

And don't count on me 'cause I am drowning, please, don't drown with me

Just hold me in your heart, let the ocean take me

[Outro]

Yeah, let the ocean take me

Yeah, let the ocean take me
