[Verse 1]
I caught your tears when you were breaking,
Held your pain in every fold.
Soft and small, but always waiting,
To take the weight of what you hold.
But now your face is brighter,
Your sorrows washed away.
You crumpled me and left me,
Like I was just a passing day.
[Chorus]
You see me like a hanky, just something to use,
Catch your tears when you’re hurting, then let me lose.
Tossed into the dark, forgotten and torn,
Like I was never more than a cloth worn and worn.
[Verse 2]
I stayed through all your storms and sadness,
Carried stains you wouldn’t see.
I folded into your small moments,
But you never folded into me.
You left me in the corner,
Where shadows quietly dwell.
And now I see so clearly,
You used me far too well.
[Chorus]
You see me like a hanky, just something to use,
Catch your tears when you’re hurting, then let me lose.
Tossed into the dark, forgotten and torn,
Like I was never more than a cloth worn and worn.
[Bridge]
I’m frayed and faded, but I stayed true,
Held your secrets no one knew.
But now I see, I played the fool,
A hanky for your crying pool.
[Chorus]
You see me like a hanky, just something to use,
Catch your tears when you’re hurting, then let me lose.
Tossed into the dark, forgotten and torn,
Like I was never more than a cloth worn and worn.
[Outro]
So here I go, I’m folding away,
No longer here to save your day.
This hanky’s moving on from you,
Leaving behind the tears you drew.
