To Comfort You

You've been down in the dumps
It seems like forever
Now, what have they done to you?
Not a single thing's turned out
The way you imagined
It all looks unreachable to you

You don't know for the life of you
What is missing
Or why it always happens to you
And you don't like yourself
You feel nobody's listening
You don't need another platitude

For a moment you forget
And a smile comes to your face
Aah, but it doesn't last too long
It's like a string you got tied
Around your finger
Reminding you of
Everything that's wrong

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling
I won't try to second guess you
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing
I'm only here to comfort you
I'm only here to comfort you

And I'd love to be the reason
A smile somes to your face
Even if it doesn't last too long
And I'd love to take that string
You've got tied around your finger
Reminding you of everything that's wrong

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling
I won't try to second guess you
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing
I'm only here to comfort you
I'm only here to comfort you
I'm only here to comfort you
