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
