lyrics

they say there’s courage in standing alone
they say you prefer it in time
but if i can choose then i’d rather have you
if that makes me a coward then fine

they say it hurts you to need someone
and you’ve got your own two feet
but i need an anchor, a port in a storm
just like i need the waves underneath

sure i could pretend i’d be better without you
i could convince myself you’re just no good
but nobody sees me the way that you see me
and if you should leave me, nobody else would

and i could pretend that i don’t even miss you
i could walk by without saying your name
but i’ll never stop kicking myself if i lose you
it may hurt, but oh darlin’
you’re worth the price of the pain

what you are to me has a weight that i wear
an heirloom that can’t be replaced
and if they are right and this world’s out of light
then how come i feel it when i see your face?

like colors your eyes can know only when closed
like the warmth when you’re welcomed inside
how lucky i am
just to see you again
when there’s no guarantee that you’re mine

sure i could pretend i’d be better without you
i could convince myself you’re just no good
but nobody sees me the way that you see me
and if you should leave me, nobody else would

and when you do leave me (cause some day you’ll leave me)
i’ll sing in your memory, i’ll honor your name
and i’ll always love you, you make it so easy
it may hurt, but oh darlin’
you’re worth the price of the pain

they say there’s courage in standing alone
they say you prefer it in time
but if i can choose then I’d rather have you
if that makes me a coward then fine
