she told me the news today, it stung like razor blades
then all i felt was faint
she said all she has is, one more day of breath
we cried ’til we were dry
then i heard, the saddest thing i’ve ever heard
she said…
if i was to live to see another day
would i be on your mind
and if i was to walk another mile
would you be by my side
we spend the entire night, just hangin’ and talkin’ about
all the things that she has done
why do we wait so long, to really love someone
i’m convinced we are afraid
but not today, so i choked down the tears and sang
everyone’s estranged, avoiding depth and pain
to consumed by our selfishness
wasting lots of time, we miss what’s come and gone
lord teach us how to love someone
