I opened my eyes to find
The days had come to pass me by
As I stared into the dark
Thinking of the time I've spent
Trying to outrun the time I've left
When I know I can't
But I wish I did
But it's natural to be afraid
When you can't see the steps that you must take
And I know you're scared
But don't you think that this scares me too?
When I am faced with the thought of losing you
But I will fight
And we will make it through
And I stare at the walls searching for a truth
As if it's somewhere hidden in the corners of the room
And I lie awake, hoping for the chance
That you'll come back home and we can start again
Before out time was spent
I know you might think you're alone in this
But you're not by a little bit
You know that we are here
And I will hold your heart inside my chest
Until the day that you ask for it back
And I will give you it
And wish you the best
