[Verse 1] You keep a score Like winning means peace But every sharp word Leaves a bruise on me I know that look When you harden up You'd rather be right Than fill your cup [Pre-Chorus] But what if the cost Is the room going cold? What if the truth Tastes better when we hold [Chorus] If you are afraid of being lonely Don't try to be right Don't try to be right If you are afraid of being lonely Take my hand tonight Take my hand tonight [Verse 2] The dish in the sink The lights half-low Your jaw on a hinge Your pride on show I don't need a winner I need you here A softer answer A little less fear [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause every small battle Turns into a wall And I can hear silence Growing down the hall [Chorus] If you are afraid of being lonely Don't try to be right Don't try to be right If you are afraid of being lonely Take my hand tonight Take my hand tonight [Bridge] We can drop the armor Set it by the door Nobody leaves here Keeping score Say it plain Say it slow I still want us I still want home [Final Chorus] If you are afraid of being lonely Don't try to be right Don't try to be right If you are afraid of being lonely Take my hand tonight Take my hand tonight If you are afraid of being lonely We can learn this right We can learn this right
