Darlin' If
The light that shined upon us once
Is swiftly dimming now, and I'm
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 won't lift our winter
And I'm scared cause I can't seem to lift you darling.
But each of us falling is not helping either to 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 don't 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
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 I'm tired cause there's no hoping left in our embraces
I'm watching my one life as it falls to shadows
That haunt your eyes
I'll be strong, I will be your wings
But I can't stay if our lives are bound to this.
Darlin' if, darlin' if
I don't 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 don't love you
Could I still
Could I carry your weight
Darlin' if, darlin' if
I don't love you
could I still could I still
carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free (x2)
Darlin' if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay (x4)
