Eighteen Someone like me She’s carried it all Yet she’s not running for the hills Sat by me Legs crossed under the night sky No warning I didn’t think that I’d cry I still remember Your roll-neck sweater Every word every letter said She said So You can let it go now You can take your walls down Don’t bottle up when you’re with me Just know that You can let it show and You’re not on your own now Take a breath and count to three Hold my heart between your hands And never let go of me Am I ready to get up this time? Standing on my own feet I can’t help it if I fall again Places I’ve never been To be vulnerable feels dangerous now Is it selfish that I just want to be seen? Oh, her words make me whole When facing a world where I am Small again Crushed under the heap But she makes smile And those words are The memories that I'll keep So You can let it go now You can take your walls down It’s okay now you’re with me
