Grieve Me Not
If I spent my life with you
Could spare me some time too
If I gave me for you
Would you know that is was true
I can't go on without you
Can't make change without a dollar
If I spend some time with you maybe I'd feel taller
Until you knock me right back down again
Could you take a chance and listen
The cries I yell to you
To let you know I wanted only the best for you
If I gave you my world would you destroy that as well
Would you curse me and outcast me and condemn me to hell
If I offered to you my heart from my bleeding chest
Would you try to mend it before it come apart again
Will you be the one to take my last breath in your sight
Could you give me just a moment to make it through the night
Will you be there by my bedside whilst I wither away to bone
Or would you walk off like everyone else just to remind me I am meant to be alone
To me you were everything and gave me reason to breath
Life is so much forgiving to us on the night we leave
Time for me is pointless because I'm only counting grief
