Please Pardon Yourself

As I turn my head to your side of the bed

While you wake, What's on your mind?

To this awful news try not to hold on

The day will come, the sun will rise, and we'll be fine



As long as I feel, as strong as I feel

I will carry you as long as I can

As hard on yourself, please pardon yourself

Do the best you can and that won't go unseen



How do I know when it's time to stop?

Runnin' from the things I do, being things I'm not

Oh I have tried, but I just changed my mind

Every night befalls every morning light



How do I know that you will never stop?

Knowin' me, and trustin' me, and lovin' me a lot

Oh I have tried, but I just changed my mind

Every night befalls every morning light



Well there's only so many ways

You can give your loving to me

I'd give my soul for just for one of them now

I'd give up the drinking, just tell me how



And there's only so many years

I'm going to give my love to you

And I spent the last one hidden away

Screaming my lungs out with nothing to say



As I turn my head to your side of the bed

While you wake, What's on your mind?

To this awful news try not to hold on

The day will come, the sun will rise, and we'll be fine
