Lyrics: Bette Midler. Bette of Roses. To Comfort You.

You've been down in the dumps
It seems like forever
Now, what have they done to you?
Not a single thing's turned out the way you imagined
It all looks unreachable to you

You don't know for the life of you what is missing
Or why it always happens to you
And you don't like yourself
You feel nobody's listening
You don't need another platitude

For a moment you forget and a smile comes to your face
Aa, but it doesn't last too long
It's like a string you got tied around your finger
Reminding you of everything that's wrong

I won't try to say, "I know what you're feeling"
I won't try to second guess you
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing
I'm only here to comfort you
(Comfort you)
I'm only here to comfort you

And I'd love to be the reason
A smile comes to your face even if it doesn't last too long
And I'd love to take that string you've got tied around your finger
Reminding you of everything that's wrong

I won't try to say, "I know what you're feeling"
I won't try to second guess you
I won't try to give advice you won't be needing
I'm only here to comfort you
(Comfort you)
I'm only here to comfort you

I'm only here to comfort you
