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
