Sit With Me Awhile Lyrics

I got a shame buried inside

Wellin' up, can no longer hide

But I don't know why

Maybe someone gave it to me

All of the symptoms are plain to see

And it come up lies

Give your heart a smile

And sit with me for awhile

Cause you were only a child

When you started on this pile

And there ain't no one there can help

With your fists clenched against yourself

So come and sit with me awhile

We never notice, we never tell

And our whole world is burning like hell

And we curse the sky

But it's in the river running beneath

Ain't no one to blame cause there ain't no one can see

How it came to life

Give your heart a smile

And sit with me for awhile

Cause you were only a child

When you started on this pile

And there ain't no one there can help

With your fists clenched against yourself

So come and sit with me awhile

There's nothing to hate and nothing to take

It's closer than that, we just made a mistake

And there is no why

So give your heart a smile

And sit with me for awhile

Cause you were only a child

When you started on this pile

And there ain't no one there can help

With your fists clenched against yourself

So come and sit with me awhile

So pour your heart out on your sleeve

Cause you see it's only me

And I'm not looking for a cure

Or elaborate fantasy

And don't run off and hide your fears

I just love you cause you're here

So come and sit with me awhile
