Play My Song

When I fall
Promise me
You won't judge or stare
Just help me up
And play my song.

When I cry
Promise me
You won't leave me there
Just wipe my eyes
And play my song.

When I die
Promise me
You won't shed a tear
Remember my face
And play my song.

Just play my song.

Without worry.
It was a place that belonged to us,
A place where we belonged.

Whatever names we were called,
Whatever trouble we had made,
Was left at the door.
