How

How do you go on

When it's been so long

Since you've woken up to feel the warmth of someone?

I confess this hasn't been the easiest

I've watched the world transform right in front of me

All from my bed

Can you see why I feel so helpless?

So just sit with me in the silence

Away from all the violence

At least just for a little while

Will you stay with me for a little while? Hmm

I know that you feel it too

My dear, so just stay

This is a safe place

To feel all the pain

And I know that you feel that all of this won't just go away

There's nothing I can say

That'll make it all okay

But for now just

Sit with me in the silence

Away from all the violence

At least just for a little while

Will you stay here for a little while

With me?

And we'll just sit here in the silence

Away from all the violence

At least just for a little while

Just two of us for a little while

And when you're ready

We'll open our eyes again

I'll take your hand, my friend

Things will be fine again

And so until then

Let's just pretend
