Help You Stay

Started like it was nothin'
Like it was just a little heartache
And everyone can feel the same
But yours never seem to go away

It's like a fortress in between us
No way to understand your pain
If you just say that you're okay
Help us to help you, so you find your way home
But we love you more than you know

No way to reach you
No way to hold you down
If you need to leave then, darling, you can
No way to keep you
From pullin' yourself away
I just wish that I could help you stay

You were taught not to say a word
And just let it all build up
But that's got to hurt
I can see why it's gettin' too much

It's like a fortress in between us
No way to understand your pain
If you just say that you're okay
Help us to help you, so you find your way home
But we love you more than you know

No way to reach you
No way to hold you down
If you need to leave then, darling, you can
No way to keep you
From pullin' yourself away
I just wish that I could help you stay

No way to reach you
No way to hold you down
If you need to leave then, darling, you can
No way to keep you
From pullin' yourself away
I just wish that I could help you

I just wish that I could help you stay
