Tell me that you're leaving, you say that time will slow the bleeding Oh, this heart that I've placed into your hands, I held it out to you Now you give it back, what am I supposed to do? Oh, I had a feeling this day would come and leave me reeling I just want to run back in your arms again But they're no longer there to hold me safe inside, to hold me anywhere If I can't have you, then I have to find a way to get through Though I don't want to, I have to do my best to recall That I'm thankful that I held you at all I miss you every morning and in the evening rain Tonight it's pouring and I'm alone again I count the seconds between the thoughts of you I'm getting better, baby, I'm almost up to two Oh, you had your reasons, and I know some folks are seasons They got to come and go, but I'm still tender I miss the summertime when I could feel your love And I could still feel mine If I can't have you, then I have to find a way to get through Though I don't want to, I have to do my best to recall That I'm thankful that I held you You gave me everything that I will need to walk this long road You gave me a sense of pride that I will carry with me all the way back home If I can't have you, then I have to find a way to get through Though I don't want to, I have to do my best to recall That I'm thankful that I held you at all That I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you I'm thankful that I held you
