In This Blanket

Romaji

All the lights are out, except for our little night light
We’re cuddled up in this blanket on the bed here in your room
It’s so quiet out there
It feels like we’re the only ones awake
In this world that could be so cold with no place to hide
When you were a little boy
The nightmares blew away with your mom’s lullaby
When you were a little boy
The bruise didn’t hurt so much, you made your dad so proud
When you were a little boy
Now you ain’t a little boy
You’re on your own
But baby you don’t have to be stronger
You’re the strongest man I know
You don’t have to try any harder
‘Cause you’re trying enough, you’ll break
I promise I will make you smile at the end of each and everyday of your life
So it’s alright
You can cry like a little boy
At least for now in this blanket, it’s just you & me
Do you remember when you first took me out on that night?
Your hands were warm but shaking
Finding love had made you weak
And that song you played on the stereo almost made me cry
A tune that sat by me like an old friend on my lonely days
When I was a little girl
I never thought that I’d become so insecure
When I was a little girl
To trust and love someone had never been so hard
When I was a little girl
Now I ain’t a little girl
Sure have I grown
But baby with you, I can be stronger
You have faith in what I see
You told me things can’t get any harder
‘Cause now that we’re together
You promised that you’ll make me smile at the end of each and everyday of my life
So it’s alright
I will cry like a little girl
At least for now in this blanket, it’s just you & me
Baby you don’t have to be stronger
You’re the strongest man I know
You don’t have to try any harder
‘Cause you’re trying enough, you’ll break
I promise I will make you smile at the end of each and everyday of your life
So it’s alright
You can cry like a little boy
At least for now in this blanket, it’s just you & me
