Next to Me
So you say you’re having trouble. Why?
Is it because you fear my eyes?
I don’t understand
Why you won’t let me hold your hand
Is it me or is it them?
Just close your eyes and tell me how you’ve been
We don’t even need to touch
No need for skin on skin
This is something too pure
It’s something far from sin
We don’t even need to talk
Just sit with me in silence
And let the others gawk
Unless you want to be alone
Then I’ll leave you be
Just know this in your heart
That you’ll always be standing next to me
Is it because you fear my eyes?
I don’t understand
Why you won’t let me hold your hand
Is it me or is it them?
Just close your eyes and tell me how you’ve been
We don’t even need to touch
No need for skin on skin
This is something too pure
It’s something far from sin
We don’t even need to talk
Just sit with me in silence
And let the others gawk
Unless you want to be alone
Then I’ll leave you be
Just know this in your heart
That you’ll always be standing next to me
