I know you think you’re tough
But I can tell it’s been rough
I don’t want to know “what’s up”
For me, that’s just not enough
What’s keeping you up at night?
What battles can I help you fight?
Please don’t keep me in the dark
Why don’t you turn on the light?
Show me what’s in your heart
What’s going on with you?
What’s wrong with telling the truth?
Now, it’s up to you to speak
It won’t make you look weak
I know you’ve got your baggage
Don’t worry, we’ve all been damaged
So, hurry before you explode
Unpack your heavy load with me
I’m here when you’re ready
