Don’t Lean on Me

[Intro: Joel Birch]
Let the ocean take me

[Verse 1: Joel Birch]
You've gotta know, kid, that it ain't easy
To take on all of your grieving
Yeah, you gotta believe me

[Chorus: Ahren Stringer]
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: Joel Birch]
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: Ahren Stringer]
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: Joel Birch]
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: Ahren Stringer]
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: Ahren Stringer]
Yeah, let the ocean take me
Yeah, let the ocean take me
