Bette Midler Lyrics

To comfort you Lyrics

You've been down in the dumps

it seems like forever.

Now, what have they done to you?

Not a single thing's turned out

the way you imagined.

It all looks unreachable to you.

You don't know for the life of you

what is missing,

or why it always happens to you.

And you don't like yourself,

you feel nobody's listening.

You don't need another platitude.

For a moment you forget

and a smile comes to your face.

Aah, but it doesn't last too long.

It's like a string you got tied

around your finger

reminding you of

everything that's wrong.

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.

I won't try to second guess you.

I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.

I'm only here to comfort you.

I'm only here to comfort you.

And I'd love to be the reason

a smile somes to your face,

even if it doesn't last too long.

And I'd love to take that string

you've got tied around your finger

reminding you of everything that's wrong.

I won't try to say I know what you're feeling.

I won't try to second guess you.

I won't try to give advice you won't be needing.

I'm only here to comfort you.

I'm only here to comfort you.

I'm only here to comfort you.
