There's my suitor, struggling to find his footing
 C                         Dm                     C                     F         G 
Lost, awoken alone, after sleeping off inebriation
 A 
I forget that I've been holding my tongue for so long

Someone who could lift you when you're low?

 A 
Promised patience, halitic alleviations
