Jess Siracusa - Bleed

You're so strong, the way you hold your head up high
List so long of all your proudest highs
I don't want you to think that no one is on your side
You are loved even if you can't see why
So let me hold you up the way I sat on your shoulders when I was three
Let me hold your hand the way you did when we walked across the street
I know you want to shield me from life but that's not an easy thing
'Cause while you protect me, you take all my pain
And I forget you bleed
You're so happy every time I see your eyes
You're so good at hiding how you feel inside
I don't want you to think you can't open your heart wide
You are valued even if you think you haven't tried
So let me hold you up the way I sat on your shoulders when I was three
Let me hold your hand the way you did when we walked across the street
I know you want to shield me from life but that's not an easy thing
'Cause while you protect me, you take all my pain
And I forget you bleed
Oh you say you're fine when it's not true all the time
And you bottle up your feelings as you shrug and say you're dealing
But the truth comes out in little bursts of anger, sadness, fear-the-worst
But keep it all trapped in your mind
'Cause strong dads don't let their daughters see them cry
So let me hold you up when you are down
'Cause you don't have to stand alone
Let me hold your hand and walk through life with you
I'll go wherever you go
You don't have to shield me from life when you're the one in need
'Cause I can protect you, so give me your pain
Oh let me take the lead
Oh let me heal you when you bleed
