Help

Verse 1

I can tell when you say “I’m fine”

But your eyes don’t quite agree

You don’t have to sell me the story

You can just be you with me

No perfect answers, no master plan

No pretending you’re okay

If the world gets a little too loud

I’ll help you drown it out today

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to carry everything

Like you’ve got something left to prove

Put down the weight for a minute

You know I’ll sit right here with you

Chorus

So take a breath, take your time

You don’t have to win tonight

If you’re running out of strength

Then lean a little my way

We’ll laugh at the bad days

Roll our eyes at the whole mess

You don’t have to face it solo

‘Cause I’ve still got your back

Yeah, I’ve still got your back

Verse 2

I won’t tell you “just cheer up”

Like that’s somehow gonna fix it

I’ll bring the dumbest joke I know

And probably make the whole thing worse

You can talk, you can rant

You can sit there and say nothing

I’ll be there either way

That’s kind of what friends are for, right?

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to have the answers

You don’t have to know what’s next

Just get through this moment

And we’ll deal with the rest

Chorus

So take a breath, take your time

You don’t have to win tonight

If you’re running out of strength

Then lean a little my way

We’ll laugh at the bad days

Roll our eyes at the whole mess

You don’t have to face it solo

‘Cause I’ve still got your back

Yeah, I’ve still got your back

Bridge

And if tomorrow’s still a mess

Okay, we’ll deal with that tomorrow

You don’t have to fake a smile

Just to make everybody comfortable

I’m not going anywhere

I’m not keeping score

You don’t have to be your strongest

Every minute anymore

Final Chorus

So take a breath, take your time

We’ll make it through one day at a time

And if the road gets rough again

You know where I’ll be

No speeches, no grand promises

Just me being me

Your slightly ridiculous backup

Whenever you need that

You don’t have to face it solo

‘Cause I’ve still got your back

Outro

Yeah, I’ve still got your back.

That’s not changing.
