​young friend
​on your own
[Chorus]
I’ll hold you close so you won’t be on your own
I’ll be honest, though
I can’t save you when you’re all alone
​and I’ll do the most so you won’t be on your own
​you can call my phone
​but I can’t save you when you’re all alone

[Verse 1]
​you can cry in front of me, you can tell me your problems
​but I won’t promise, I’ll just be honest
I can’t guarantee that I can solve 'em
I’m sorry
I’m just saying the things you need to hear
​you worry too much, so I’ll make it crystal clear

[Chorus]
I’ll hold you close so you won’t be on your own
I’ll be honest, though
I can’t save you when you’re all alone
​and I’ll do the most so you won’t be on your own
​you can call my phone
​but I can’t save you when you’re all alone

[Bridge]
I’m thinking you should take some time
​to really get your life in line
It’s gettin' in the way of mine
​and I don’t got time and I don’t got-
[Verse 2]
I can’t be your support, so I’ll just keep this short
​this life is really yours
​you just gotta find your course
​you gotta find your way
​but I ain't got time today

[Chorus]
I’ll hold you close so you won’t be on your own
I’ll be honest, though
I can’t save you when you’re all alone
​and I’ll do the most so you won’t be on your own
​you can call my phone
​but I can’t save you when you’re all alone
