Your Pain Is Mine

[Verse 1]
You’re staring at the same four walls
Tracing all the cracks with your eyes
You say you’re just a little tired
But I see every tear you hide
You turn your back
Say “go to sleep”
I hear your breathing change
But you’re awake
You say it isn’t mine to fix
But your pain is mine to take
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me carry what you can’t say
Give me all the weight you hate
If your heart’s too tired to break
I’ll break for you
I’ll break
[Chorus]
Your pain is mine to take away
Give me every scar you’re scared to show
Lay it on my shoulders
I won’t let it go
If you’re too weak to stand today
I’ll be both your legs and both your hands
I’ll be the one who understands
Your pain is mine
Your pain is mine to take away
[Verse 2]
You’re counting all the times you fell
Like they’re written on your skin in ink
You laugh it off
You change the subject
But I know where your fingers sink
Into your sleeves
Into your doubt
Into all the nights you lost your faith
You say
“Don’t make this about me”
But I’m already in that place
[Pre-Chorus]
Let me carry what you can’t say
Every heavy name you take
If your heart’s too tired to break
I’ll break for you
I’ll break (yeah)
[Chorus]
Your pain is mine to take away
Give me every scar you’re scared to show
Lay it on my shoulders
I won’t let it go
If you’re too weak to stand today
I’ll be both your legs and both your hands
I’ll be the one who understands
Your pain is mine
Your pain is mine to take away
[Bridge]
One by one
We’ll lift the pieces off the floor (off the floor)
Hand in hand
We’ll walk them right out through the door
You don’t have to fight alone
Every shadow
Every ache
I’ll be there when you can’t move
I’ll be the breath you cannot take (oh)
[Chorus]
Your pain is mine to take away
Give me every scar you’re scared to show
Lay it on my shoulders
I won’t let it go
If you’re too weak to stand today
I’ll be both your legs and both your hands
I’ll be the one who understands
Your pain is mine
Your pain is mine to take away
[Chorus]
Your pain is mine to take away
We’ll turn all this hurt into something new
Every step you’re scared to take
I’ll take with you
If you’re too tired to hope tonight
I’ll hold up the light until you can
I’ll be the one who always stands
Your pain is mine
Your pain is mine to take away
