The light that shined upon us once
Is swiftly dimming now, and Im
Afraid to watch us tip,
Or else to watch us wither.
The lips that once spoke truth to me,
And brought white heat upon my mouth,
Have gone cold at the source.
The sun wont lift our winter
And Im scared cause I cant seem to lift you darling.
But each of us falling is not helping either stand.
I just want you to know I was sincere,
When I said I loved you all those years.
And Darlin if, Darlin if
I dont love you
could I still could I still
carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free (x2)
The child that sleeps within your dreams
But never rested in your arms,
Is now a promise broke
A hurt that I wont share.
I asked you once to let it go
Shed these chains that pull us low.
But if I know you well
These are not words to bear.
But Im tired cause theres no hoping left in our embraces
Im watching my one life as it falls to shadows
That haunt your eyes
I will be strong I will be your wings
But I cant stay if our lives are bound to this
Darlin if, Darlin if
I dont love you
could I still could I still
carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free (x2)
So young we started in love
Too old to start again now (x3)
Darlin if
If I dont love you
Could I still
Could I carry your weight
Darlin if, Darlin if
I dont love you
could I still could I still
carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free (x2)
Darling if
I aint gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay (x4)
