Don'T Let Me Fall

Lonely nights
I still hear the cries from Cherie
"Please don't hit me"
We were kids under the sheets
In this hoarded house
There's no hope in these rooms of looped dreams
All these pictures looking at me
Mothers don't leave

It rains, then it pours
Leave your pride at the door
Don't let me fall
Hold me close
Please don't let me go (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall

The train never stopped
Never had time to unpack your trauma
Keep fighting the world, that's how you get love, mama
Your bitter tongue is sharper than a knife
Cut so deep inside
Don't care with a smile
That I am your child

It rains, then it pours
There's no light through that door
Don't let me fall
Hold me close
Please don't let me go (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Love is a sacrifice, I know that you're hurting
Nothing replaces a mother's love
It's irreplaceable, oh
If there's no one to love, you can never lose
'Cause the only one you care about is you
You can stay in the dark, but you gotta choose
If you don't nurture, you're gonna lose it
Without caring, you're gonna lose it
With no heart, you will just abuse it
If you're torn, then you gotta prove it

That it rains, then it pours
There's no light through that door
Don't let me fall
Hold me close
Please don't let me go

I don't wanna cry no more, ooh
Please don't let me fall, ooh
I don't wanna cry
I never wanna cry
No, no
I never wanna cry
Don't let me fall, don't let me fall, oh
Please don't let me fall
