Lyrics:
I remember being ten years old
sick to my stomach on the bathroom floor
the only thing worse than walking out that door
was the thought of being me
and you came in and sad down on the rug
I never liked to cuddle, but I loved that hug
You gave my collar and my heartstrings a tug
when you pulled me close and said

You don’t have to go if you don’t feel like it
no one has to know if you don’t feel like it
It’s okay to be afraid if you feel like it
tomorrow I’ll bet, you’ll forget and you won’t feel like this

and I remember when I left this town
the nerves hit me before my feet hit the ground
you told me that you loved me and you’d love me around
but I had things to do out west
when you came in I had my bags all packed
You slept in my bed that night that was my last
you were right when you said that I grew up too fast
and your words rang in my head

You don’t have to go if you don’t feel like it
no one has to know if you don’t feel like it
It’s okay to be afraid if you feel like it
tomorrow I’ll bet, you’ll forget and you won’t feel like this

And it’s hard to say if the choices I’ve made
were the right thing at the time
But you held my hand and helped me understand
that it’s all gonna turn out fine

and I remember when I came back home
Natey fell sick and you felt all alone
you said so much with your eyes and your tone
and I’d give anything for you to know

I don’t have to go if you don’t feel like it
I could come back home if you feel like it
it’s okay to be afraid if you feel like it
you’re still my hero even if you don’t feel like it

(You don’t have to go if you don’t feel like it)
(no one has to know if you don’t feel like it)
(It’s okay to be afraid if you feel like it)
(tomorrow I’ll bet, you’ll forget and you won’t feel like this)
(You don’t have to go if you don’t feel like it)
(no one has to know if you don’t feel like it)

we could just stay here, have a beer, if you feel like it
but it’s alright if tonight you don’t feel like it
