 You don't have to be so scared

 You don't have to leave tonight

 I just need to hold on tight

 For one hell of a ride

 And we lost it all just now

 To the nights that left you out

 So we'll let this go somehow

 But you're gonna be proud so proud

 And I just needed you to pick me up

 Like you did when we were younger

 When the lightning and the thunder

 Had me clinging to your heart

For someone

To lift me up

 When I'm down and I'm forgotten

 You'll forever be my father

 And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one

 How can I fit all these words

 Into such a simple verse

 It's the last time that we'll speak

 So listen to me please

 And I just needed you to pick me up

 Like you did when we were younger

 When the lightning and the thunder

 Had me clinging to your heart

For someone

To lift me up

 When I'm down and I'm forgotten

 You'll forever be my father

 I'll be saving tears in jars for this one

 And I just needed you to pick me up Whoa oh oh oh oh oh (2x)

 And I just needed you to pick me up

 Like you did when we were younger

 When the lightning and the thunder

 Had me clinging to your heart

For someone

To lift me up

 When I'm down and I'm forgotten

 You'll forever be my father

 I'll be saving tears in jars for this one

 Did you know that you're my heart

 And it hurts to be apart

 And this cut it hurts so deep

 So sing me to sleep
