Bigger Than Us

You told me the truth
someone had to know
what you were going through
So. You. Told. Me.

The only person on the planet that knows
I don’t know what to do
this secret is huge
too big for us

I can’t bear to watch anymore
seeing you struggle with this
is like watching a butterfly
with broken wings try and try to fly

I have to tell someone
I need to get you help
I would help you myself if I could
but I don’t have the right words

And I don’t know what to do
this is bigger than you can handle
bigger than I can help with
bigger than us.
