To Comfort You
Embracing Solace: Bette Midler's Song Unveils the Pursuit of Comfort
Lyrics
You've been down in the dumps
You've been feeling low or depressed.
It seems like forever.
This feeling has persisted for a long time.
Now, what have they done to you?
Questioning what others have done to contribute to your current state.
Not a single thing's turned out
No situation has unfolded as you hoped or expected.
The way you imagined.
Nothing in life has aligned with your visions or desires.
It all looks unreachable to you.
Everything you aspire to seems unattainable.
You don't know for the life of you
You're unable to identify what's lacking in your life.
What is missing,
Uncertain about what's missing.
Or why it always happens to you.
Feeling like negative events frequently happen to you without explanation.
And you don't like yourself,
You're displeased with yourself.
You feel nobody's listening.
Believing that nobody pays attention to you.
You don't need another platitude.
Not in need of cliché or overused expressions of support.
For a moment you forget
Occasionally, there are moments when you forget your troubles and smile.
And a smile comes to your face.
A fleeting moment of happiness.
Aah, but it doesn't last too long.
However, this joy doesn't last for a significant duration.
It's like a string you got tied
Similar to a reminder of your problems.
Around your finger
Metaphorically, a symbol of your worries.
Reminding you of
Constantly reminded of everything that's going wrong in your life.
Everything that's wrong.

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
Not claiming to fully understand your emotions.
I won't try to second guess you.
Choosing not to speculate or assume your feelings.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
Not attempting to offer unwanted advice.
I'm only here to comfort you.
Expressing the intent to provide comfort.
I'm only here to comfort you.
Reiterating the intention to be a source of solace.
And I'd love to be the reason
Desiring to bring happiness to your life.
A smile comes to your face,
Hoping to bring moments of joy to your face.
Even if it doesn't last too long.
Despite knowing it might not endure.
And I'd love to take that string
Wishing to alleviate reminders of your troubles.
You've got tied around your finger
To help you move away from dwelling on negativity.
Reminding you of everything that's wrong.
Removing symbols of what's going wrong in your life.
I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.
Reiterating the lack of complete understanding of your emotions.
I won't try to second guess you.
Avoiding assumptions about your feelings.
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.
Not forcing unwanted advice onto you.
I'm only here to comfort you.
Emphasizing the sole intention to provide comfort.
I'm only here to comfort you.
Reiterating the intent to be a source of solace.
I'm only here to comfort you.
