Oh Dear

Brandi Carlile · Give Up the Ghost [2009]

Oh dear, out here

Everybody stumbles on fear

Who cares if we're scared

Everyone is on their own



It's only you that my heart desires

Only you alone can know my pain

All along you were sitting there

Folding pages for you paper chain

Now you can cut me free

Forever say goodbye

Or we'll be holding hands, and go on

Together you and I forever



Heartbreaks, mistakes

Catching up to me in old ways

I've known of hard days

And my share of lonely nights



It's only you that my heart desires

Only you alone can break my fall

I pace the floor and I wish for more

While you were dreamin' with your paper dolls

So when it all unfolds

We'll be holding hands and go on

Together you and I forever



Poor dear, out here

Everybody stumbles on fear

Who cares if you're scared

Everyone is on their own

Oh dear
