As long as it takes Lyrics

I've been trying to put into words 

Something I have never been through 

I can't explain a feeling that I 

Didn't have to 

Ever compare or try to understand 

I can only imagine 

What that fear is like

Keeping you up at night

And I can't pretend like 

I have any idea. 

What it must be like 

Trying to make sense of it 

With no good reason why 

You put on a brave face

Crippled by the pain

When all you want to do is

Say your baby's name

Wandering why you have to fight 

When all you want to do is

Hear your baby cry

But promise me babe

You're going to be kind to yourself

For as long as it takes

For as long as it takes 

I've been wanting to put into words 

Anything that might comfort you

I might not know what to say

And I don't have the answers

To make it okay

But if you need someone 

To just listen you know that even

If you don't want to talk

You got my shoulder to lean on

When your crippled by the pain that

Numbed you while you wait 

When all you want to do is

Say your baby's name

Wandering why you still have to fight When all you want to do is

Hear your baby cry

But promise me, babe

That you're going to be kind

To yourself

These things take time and I know

It's not fair but for as long as it takes I'll be there

For as long as it takes
