You don't have to be so scared   You don't have to leave tonight   I've just got to hold on tight   For one hell of a ride   And we lost it all just now   To the nights that left you out   So we'll let this go somehow   But you're gunna be proud   And I just needed you to pick me up    Like you did when we were younger   When the lightning and the thunder   Had me clinging to your heart   For someone   To lift me up   When I'm down and I'm forgotten    You'll forever be my father   And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one   How can I fit all these words   Into such a simple verse   It's the last time that we'll speak    So listen to me please   And I just needed you to pick me up    Like you did when we were younger   When the lightning and the thunder   Had me clinging to your heart   For someone   To lift me up   When I'm down and I'm forgotten    You'll forever be my father   And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one    Did you know that you're my heart   And it hurts to be apart   And this cut it hurts so deep   So sing me to sleep
