Lyrics
You've got the kind of heart that's trusting
You possess a trusting and kind-hearted nature.
Your mother and father told me so
According to your parents, they acknowledged your trusting nature.
That was before they went missing
Your parents went missing at some point in the past.
That was before they let you go
Your parents let you go before their disappearance.
Try to pick yourself up off the ground
You are urged to lift yourself from a difficult situation or emotional low.
Tell yourself what's lost cannot be found
The idea that what's lost cannot be recovered is emphasized.
Things get better but you just don't know how
There is a struggle to comprehend how things will improve.
Seems like everybody's going to let you down
It seems like everyone is expected to disappoint you.
You know that I hate to see you crying
The narrator dislikes witnessing you in a state of sadness.
Your body it shakes with every breath
Your physical reaction to distress is evident through body shaking.
I don't always need to see you smiling
The narrator doesn't always require you to pretend to be happy.
So come rest your head down on my chest
You're encouraged to find solace by resting on the narrator's chest.
Try to pick yourself up off the ground
A repetition of the advice to rise from a low point.
Tell yourself what's lost cannot be found
Reiteration that some losses are irreversible.
Things get better but you just don't know how
Despite the uncertainty, there's a suggestion that things can improve.
Seems like everybody's going to let you down
Emphasizing the expectation that everyone will let you down.
But not me
The narrator asserts that they won't be among those who disappoint you.
I will never leave
A commitment not to abandon or forsake you.
In fact I don't know how
An acknowledgment of uncertainty regarding how this commitment will be fulfilled.
Take my hand I'll never let you down
An offer to provide unwavering support by extending a helping hand.
Take my heart I'll never let you down
A pledge to offer enduring emotional support and loyalty.
Oh don't be afraid I'll never let you down
An assurance to dispel any fears of disappointment, reiterating the commitment made.
