|
I look into your sad brown eyes |
|
And I wish I had an answer for you |
|
I can tell you it's ok |
|
But I can't make that true |
|
So I reach out for your small soft hands |
|
Just hoping I can calm your fear |
|
We talk though the confusion |
|
Til it all starts to clear |
|
But I can't make the world disappear |
|
I will try just by holding you near |
|
How long can that last |
|
How long can we last |
|
You ask what would be best for me |
|
But it's loaded like a firing squad |
|
So I hold off their fire |
|
I don't wanna spill our blood |
|
I can lock in all our pain |
|
But I still can't stop it hurting you |
|
And it makes it all the harder |
|
That there's nothing I can do |
|
Cause I can't make the world disappear |
|
I will try just by holding you near |
|
How long can that last |
|
How long can we last |
|
Just flesh and bone |
|
And broken from the start |
|
But it's worth going through |
|
For your greatest gift to me |
|
The experience of you |
|
Still I can't make the world disappear |
|
I will try just by holding you near |
|
How long can that last |
|
How long can we last |
|
Still I can't make the world disappear |
|
I will try just by holding you near |
|
How long can that last |
|
How long can we last |
