You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should've behaved better. -Anne Lamott, from Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life.


Babe, don't cry
It is alright sometimes if you need someone
There is no shame or fear
I've been there, I'm right here
There is no shame in needing someone
Just to say it's alright
You have to reach dawn by breaking light
There is no one I'd rather hold

Take me as I am
I am not tall or strong
But I can be all you want
Take me as I am
I am just curious and young
But I can be your only one

Babe, don't cry
It is alright if you just need someone
There is no fear of being open
Just to have your heart broken
There is no fear in having someone
Just to say you're alright
You're strong and you will win this fight
There is no one I'd rather hold

Take me as I am
I am not tall or strong
But I can be all you want
Take me as I am
I am just curious and young
But I can be your only one

Babe, don't cry
If you need someone
I will hold you
Babe, don't cry
I'm offering all I am
For someone like you

Take me as I am
I am not tall or strong
But I can be all you want
Take me as I am
I am just curious and young
But I can be your only one

Babe, don't cry
Take me for who I am
I'll be your lullaby
There is no place for tears
I've loved you all these years
There is no place I'd rather be
I will say it's alright
You've made it through this night
There is no one I'd rather hold
