about

Sad happens. Depression is on the rise for all ages. Song is emotional but also a bit hopeful.

Acoustic piano. Jaunty cello. Male vocals. Female backing vocals. Bass in near end at the "lift me up" part - Thanks for listening.

lyrics

I don't wanna come out and play

I don't wanna come out and play today

Just want to fade away

I'm tired of all these games we play

Just wanna stay in bed

Stay in bed and pull the covers up

Stay in bed and hideaway

Hideaway and dream today

Cos I can't do this life this way

And I can only see the grey

And I can't take these lonely days

But then I hear your voice

Say I'll be okay again

And I'm falling, can you life me up

When I'm falling, can you lift me up

Hold me 'til the storms pass by

Hold me 'til the pain subsides

I see hope and it's in your eyes

But the rain is still falling

and I can't do this life this way

and I can only see the grey

and I can't take these lonely days

and then I hear your voice

Say I'll be ok again

and I'm falling, can you life me up

Falling, can you lift me up

Tell me I'll be ok again

Lift me up so I can see

Lift me so I believe again

Lift me restore my faith

Lift me so I'm ok again

Lift me lift me lift me lift me..
