[Verse 1]
I talk too fast
Trip over words
Then laugh
I lose my keys
Forget your birthday graph
I’m not the one
With perfect
Polished plans
But I can hold
Your shaking
Tired hands
[Pre-Chorus]
When your voice gets small
And your eyes look down
You can fall apart
I won’t let you drown (mm)
[Chorus]
I may not be the coolest friend
Or have every right answer on demand
But you have my ear
You have my shoulder
When the world feels loud
I’ll lean in closer
I’ll make you laugh
Till the dark turns thin
I’ll make you feel
Like you are seen again
I’ve got my flaws
Still I stand in front of you
If the sky falls hard
I will shield you
[Verse 2]
I cancel plans
From hiding in my head
I overthink
Every word you said
But I remember
How you take your tea
The jokes you hate
The secrets you trust with me
[Pre-Chorus]
You can call me late
You can call me wrong
You can call me weak
I’ll still stay strong (for you)
[Chorus]
I may not be the coolest friend
Or have every right answer on demand
But you have my ear
You have my shoulder
When the world feels loud
I’ll lean in closer
I’ll make you laugh
Till the dark turns thin
I’ll make you feel
Like you are seen again
I’ve got my flaws
Still I stand in front of you
If the sky falls hard
I will shield you
[Bridge]
You don’t have to fix your face
You don’t have to hide that ache
Leave your armor at my door (at my door)
I’m a little cracked
It’s true
But the light gets through to you
Through the breaks I’m shining more
[Chorus]
I may not be the coolest friend
Or have every right answer on demand
But you have my ear
You have my shoulder
When the world feels loud
I’ll lean in closer
I’ll make you laugh
Till the dark gives in
I’ll make you feel
Like you are seen again
I’ve got my flaws
Still I stand in front of you
If the sky falls hard
I will shield you
I will shield you (mm)
