Lyrics
You tell me that you're leaving
You say that time
Will slow the bleeding
Of 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
Ooh
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've 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
Ooh
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
(Showed me a way to get by)
Gave me a sense of pride
That I will carry with me all the way back home
Ooh
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'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, held you, 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
