Depend On You

Depend on you There are footsteps that lead to my door, but then they disappeared, There used to be a pair of them, back when you lived here There was a time when laughter ruled, the day and then the night Now your laughter's just a memory, frozen in the heat of time Bridge Daydreams are what helps me, make it through each day Sweet memories sustain me, ever since you went away Pre chorus Life can be so cruel... it's not fair living without you Chorus I could-depend on you I could always depend on you Even in my darkest hour, your love would shine on through You would- lift me up out of the mire Extinguish all my blazing fire Tell me- now what am I supposed to do? (I used to) depend on you (I used to) depend on you I remember those lazy days, we'd spend out on the lake We always thought that they would last, that was our last mistake It's hard for me to face this life, living out here all alone Even ripples run away from me, when I'm out here throwing stones Bridge Daydreams are what helps me, make it through each day Sweet memories sustain me, ever since you went away Pre chorus Life can be so cruel... it's not fair living without you Chorus I could-depend on you I could always depend on you Even in my darkest hour, your love would shine on through You would- lift me up out of the mire Extinguish all my blazing fire Tell me- now what am I supposed to do? (I used to) depend on you (I used to) depend on you I look out into, the bleak black sky, and I wonder, where you are I think of you every time I see, another shooting star I wish that you were still here, to bring joy back to my life but for now I'll rewind memories, to help get me, through this night Bridge Daydreams are what helps me, make it through each day Sweet memories sustain me, ever since you went away Pre chorus Life can be so cruel... it's not fair living without you Chorus I could-depend on you I could always depend on you Even in my darkest hour, your love would shine on through You would- lift me up out of the mire Extinguish all my blazing fire Tell me- now what am I supposed to do? (I used to) depend on you (I used to) depend on you repeat John Derek Hamilton October 08,2018

You have a very romantic heart. And you’ve captured quite well the loneliness of one broken. Deb
