I'll catch your tears in a cup
and I will tilt it to my lips to swallow the pain
that you feel in your chest
I thought I could sleep tonight
but I couldn't stop thinking
how I can't help you
I wish I could cradle your head in my arms
and whisk your pain away
the cup is breaking in my hand
because I don't think I can stomach it down
the salt burns
I can handle it, just one more cup
I promise I can handle it just keep pouring
