don’t leave me lonely out in the cold

don’t leave me hanging out and alone

i know you’re  anxious i know that you’re scared

let me come love you, lay in my hair

play with my braids, they won’t erase you

cmon inside, the lions won’t chase you 

the waters fine just take a dip

now you might stumble but you won’t slip 

don’t let me go, don’t make me miss you

i’ll wipe your eyes, just grab a tissue

just let me hold you, just let me taste you 

before i leave and then erase you
