Best grab a box of tissues before watching the video for Frances' powerful new single, “Don’t Worry About Me.” As the British songstress is prepping for her debut LP, she takes a moment to reduce all of us to blithering pile of emotional mush. How kind of her.

"It's my way of saying that it's my turn to be strong and brave for them now, just as they have been for me," she told the magazine. The video for “Don’t Worry About Me” depicts a man saying goodbye to someone very close to him. The rest of the details you can flesh out on your own. Give it a watch, then call your loved ones.

To give you all of the feels, we’ve added the lyrics to “Don’t Worry About Me” below. For best effect, read through whilst listening, assuming your eyes can remain dry long enough.

I'll feel the fear for you, I'll cry your tears for you
I'll do anything I can to make you comfortable
Even if I fall down when you're not around
Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

'Cause if I fall, you'll fall
And if I rise, we'll rise together
When I smile, you'll smile
And don't worry about me, don't worry about me

I'll feel the fear for you, I'll cry your tears for you
I'll do anything I can to make you comfortable
Even if I fall down when you're not around
Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

I'll climb the hills you face, I'll do this in your place
I'd do anything to go through it instead of you
But even if I fall down when you're not around
Don't worry about me, don't worry about me

'Cause if I fall, you'll fall
And if I rise, we rise together
When I smile, you'll smile
And don't worry about me, don't worry about me

'Cause if I fall, you'll fall
And if I rise, we rise together
When I smile, you'll smile
And don't worry about me, don't worry about me

'Cause if I fall, you'll fall
And if I rise, we'll rise together
When I smile, you'll smile
And don't worry about me, don't worry about me
Don't worry about me, don't worry about me
