2017 Bret Bingham / Erica Ellis
 
This town gets cold
And if you lose faith
Then you lose hope
 
And it's hard to stand
When they push you down
I know firsthand
 
Cause I've felt the solitude
The heartache too
And I know what you've got to lose
What you're trying to prove
 
When it's all just too much
When you've had enough
I won't judge
I'll hold you up
I'll be your crutch
 
They say talk is cheap
But those bitter words
Can cut so deep
 
When it all hits home
It can break you down
You can't make it on your own
 
Then I will listen when you cry
I’m on your side
And I won't make you justify
pretend your fine
 
When it's all just too much
When you've had enough
I won't judge
I'll hold you up
I'll be your crutch

I know you won't always need me
You'll stand on your own someday
But when the pain comes to claim you again
Don’t give up 
Know you can trust
I’ll be your crutch 

Repeat chorus

I'll Be Your Crutch

Written by Bret Bingham / Erica Ellis

Your clothes still hang in the closet next to mine 
Every night, in our bed, you still lay by my side 
Our pictures hang on the wall 
We brush by each other in the hall 
So why does it feel like you’ve left me behind? 

I feel like a memory 
Someone you used to love 
A faded photograph 
A dream you’ve woken from 
Your eyes can’t hide 
What you hoped I wouldn’t see 
Your heart’s moved on, you’re already gone 
I feel like a memory 

When you got close you’d gently touch my arm 
Across the room you’d look at me like it was too far 
Those are the things that I miss the most 
When you hold me now, I feel so all alone 
Cause when we’re together, we’re really apart 

I feel like a memory 
Someone you used to love 
A faded photograph 
A dream you’ve woken from 
Your eyes can’t hide 
What you hoped I wouldn’t see 
Your heart’s moved on, you’re already gone 
I feel like a memory

Tell me the truth, then walk on out the door 
Being left alone couldn’t hurt me any more
