I understand that you need someone 
give anything to believe someone 
throw up your hands when you grieve 
undone is this what you've become?

Baby, I've heard that you've lost your mind 
it's nothing that anyone else can help you find 
I know he planted the seed
but it's time that you weed and leave 
the dead grass behind

I know it kills you to know 
We don't always reap what we sow 
and we don't always get to keep what we find

Sister, I've seen your eyes 
I know your pain there's nothing you have to say 
no need to explain 
I wish I could help you here
but all I can do is be near and only time 
can replace the strain

I can only give you words 
I know it's hard and it hurts 
but mother it doesn't always rain
