The Emotional Orphan

sometimes
i see you sing
that you don’t deserve praise
but i need a hand,
please let me tell the truth
say sometimes
it’s worth all that is mine
though i recognize its not much
prove it, sometimes
under a moon
that shines like it’s day
one that hangs like a star, sometimes
i’m getting blind
i see with your eyes
it’s too dark, sometimes
prove it’s worth it to believe, sometimes
with your head in my hands,
your heart tucked safely away like a treasure
sometimes, it gets darker than night
tearing me down, sometimes
when the world’s like a friend
that only takes what it wants
most times, i find i can smile
just don’t say “don’t cry”
just prove it, sometimes
that there is no reason to ever be sad with me
i see you sing
i don’t need your praise
just hold out a hand
say it’s worth all that is mine
prove it, sometimes
under a moon
that shines like it’s day
one that hangs like a star, sometimes
prove it, sometimes
prove it’s worth it to believe,
with your head in my hands,
our hearts tucked safely away like treasure
