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?
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
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
CHORUS:
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
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
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'm still tender)
I miss the summertime
When I could feel your love and I could still feel mine
Some folks are seasons, they've got to come and go
But I'm still tender (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
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
BRIDGE:
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
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
CHORUS
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)
Mmm, I'm, I'm, I'm (thankful that I held you)
Yeah (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)
Mmm, I'm, I'm, I'm (thankful that I held you)
Yeah (I'm thankful that I held you)
