Splitstep - The Shoulder (feat. Ashlei Brianne) Lyrics

Forgive me if I can't understand, I'm here just to listen, I'll take what I can
I've got all the time in the world, cuz I'm a patient man
You said so I don't know, need to take it all slow
Cuz I know what it's like when you forget to let the roots underneath grow

Now tell me the story of how you two met,
I know that you're scared and you're filled with regret
But I won't be the one who's saying goodbye,
I'm the shoulder you lean on to catch every tear that you cry

I said I'm not the kind to leave it up to fate, but I've heard it's so hard to trust after hate
So if you want to shout out, I'll be here anytime that you call
You said I don't want to talk, just a new kid on the block
And I'm just waiting for the time to heal it all
You wish the pain was a thing of the past, and we oughta know that some love doesn't last
But anew can arise from the ashes if we don't move so fast

Now tell me what you think is holding us back,
I promise I won't give the same heart attack
And you think what I'll say is she's one tortured soul,
But I've never seen 20 years not take its toll
So I won't be the one whose saying goodbye,
I'm the shoulder you lean on to catch every tear that you cry

The tear that you cry,

The shoulder you lean on,
Love doesn't last, don't want to talk
To catch every tear that you cry,
Catch every tear

Forgive me if I'm getting colder
