Someone I Can Lean On

Then burned by a fast goodbye.
I laugh, but I read the room: that's how I stay alive.
You say it straight with your words: "That's not common where I'm from." I want a steady kind of truth,
Not a rush and then you're done.
If I lean in, don't let go.
If I reach out, pick up fast.
I'm done with the almost-there; done with the have-to-cast.
Someone I can lean on, someone I can lean on.
Stick around when it gets rough, say what you really want.
Someone I can lean on, someone I can lean on.
Carry you when it's rough, don't leave me holding dust.
