lyrics

I remember the morning you first looked at me
With springtime sunshine in your smile
But the closer we became, the more I sapped it away,
Eating up your image like a hungry child

Oh but how can you ask me to do this on my own
When before you all I ever did was fail?
How can you ask me to leave you alone
Like a ship leaving port without a sail?

I'm so far gone
But I'm holding on

In my mind you were begging me on bended knee,
"Darling, stay by my side"
So I did as you requested and walked close behind
But you grew more distant with every stride

Oh how can you expect me to forget who you are
When so much of you inspired parts of me?
How can you ask me to crawl away and hide
While you figure out who you want to be?

I'm so far gone
But I'm holding on

Oh how can you ask me to close my eyes to you,
and leave behind the sunlight for the shade?
How can you ask me to run away
When without you I am naked and afraid?

I'm so far gone
But I'm holding on
