Tryin to keep my
Head above the water
Reach for your hand
To keep from going under;
And I hear your voice
As you call my name
Getting closer though
The distance stays the same.
I feel you pull me
By my arms safely to shore
My breathing shallow
Don’t know if I have anymore…
Time to tell you
All the things I wanted to
Most of all how
Hard I fell in love with you…
And I….oh I…I’m so sorry…
That I…oh I…I made you worry…
But if I gave you my heart
Would you tear it apart
Or would you, keep it safe?
If I gave you my heart
From the very start
Would we still be here today?
Tears assemble
In the corner of my eye
I know that soon I
Will have to say my last goodbye;
Will you hold me?
As my soul ascends on high
And stroke my hair as
You sing a final lullaby…?
And I….oh I…I’m so sorry…
That I…oh I…I made you worry…
But if I gave you my heart
Would you tear it apart
Or would you, keep it safe?
If I gave you my heart
From the very start
Would we still be here today?
