Take Care
The Cover Kid Lyrics

Know you've been hurt by someone else
I can see that you've been hurt by someone in the past.

I can tell by the way you carry yourself
Your posture and demeanor suggest that you carry the pain with you.

If you let me, here's what I'll do
If you allow me, I want to help you heal and grow.

I'll take care of you
I'll be there for you and provide support.

I've loved and I've lost
I've experienced both the joy and pain of love.

I've asked about you and they've told me things
I've inquired about you, and others have shared their thoughts with me.

But my mind didn't change
Their comments didn't alter my feelings for you.

I still the feel the same
My feelings for you remain strong.

What's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed
Life should be enjoyable, so don't feel bad for wanting to have fun.

I've had mine, you've had yours we both know
We've both had our share of experiences and understand each other's pasts.

We know, they don't get you like I will
I understand you on a deeper level than anyone else does.

My only wish is I die real
I hope to remain true to who I am until the end of my life.

Cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal
The truth may be painful, but lies can temporarily ease the pain.

And you can't sleep thinking that he lies still
You can't rest easy knowing that he's sleeping peacefully after hurting you.

So you cry still, tears all in the pillow case
You still cry about it, and your tears soak into your pillowcase.

Big girls all get a little taste
Even strong women can experience heartbreak and vulnerability.

Pushing me away so I give her space
You're pushing me away so I'll back off and give you some room.

Dealing with a heart that I didn't break
I'm trying to help you heal from a wound I didn't cause.

I'll be there for you, I will care for you
I promise to be there for you and support you through your pain.

I keep thanking you, just don't know
I constantly express my gratitude to you, but I don't know how to fully show it.

Trying to run from that, say you're done with that
You're trying to distance yourself from the pain and say you're over it.

On your face girl, it just don't show
Despite what you say, your true emotions are still visible on your face.

When you're ready, just say you're ready
I'll wait until you're ready to move forward and heal.

When all the baggage just ain't as heavy
When the weight of your emotional baggage feels lighter and easier to carry.

And the parties over, just don't forget me
When the fun and excitement fades, please don't forget about me or our connection.

We'll change the pace and we'll just go slow
We'll take our time and move at a comfortable pace.

You won't ever have to worry,
You can trust that I'll be there for you and keep your best interests in mind.

You won't ever have to hide
You don't have to keep your true feelings hidden from me.

And you seen all my mistakes
You're aware of my past mistakes and flaws.

So look me in my eyes
Make eye contact with me and let's have an honest conversation.

Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do
If you give me the chance, I want to take care of you and help you heal.

It's my birthday, I get high if I want to
It's my special day, and I'm allowed to have fun.

Can't deny that I want you, but I lie if have to
I can't deny that I have feelings for you, but I'll pretend I don't if I have to.

Cause you don't say you love me
You don't express your love for me like I do for you.

To your friends when they ask you
When your friends inquire about your feelings for me.

Even though we both know that you do (you do)
Despite what you say to your friends, we both know that you love me.

One time, been in love one time
I've only experienced true love once before.

You and all your girls in the club one time
You and your friends having a fun night out at the club.

All so convinced that you're following your heart
You believe that you're making choices based on what your heart desires.

Cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes
Sometimes, your actions and emotions can be influenced by factors beyond your control.

We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed
We all have moments of vulnerability and emotion, so don't feel bad about it.

You hate being alone, you ain't the only one
You dislike being by yourself, but you're not the only person who feels that way.

You hate the fact that you bought the dream
You're frustrated that you believed in a dream that turned out to be false.

And they sold you one
Someone convinced you to believe in something that wasn't true.
