Given It All

Sometimes I'm so scared of our commitment that I stutter
Through my prayers, and so many times, I put myself first
That I wonder what you can get in return
Now that you've lost it all
To find the joy that being with another human brings
It seems that you have given all
In order to chase down one of your biggest dreams
And now, we are learning what true love really means
Am I naive to think you can ignore my actions
I just wish that you could just feel my heart
And know just how much I care for you
Now that you've lost it all
To find the joy that being with another human brings
It seems that you have given all
In order to chase down one of your biggest dreams
And now, we are learning what true love really means

I like to find myself
Between the shadow and the light,
Basking in opportunity ahead
While reflecting on what's behind
But I have to wonder
Does anyone long for
The golden mean anymore?
When did we acquiesce
And let "reality" trample our joy?
When did we lose control
And let our emotions run wild and unshod?
Why do we flock to
The very first one who
Can appeal to an emotional extreme?

Not To Hold On
02:23
|

I should have learned by now
To tell you how I'm feeling
But try as I might, the words don't come out right
When will I learn not to hold on
To my frustrations, my love?
Because you take my hand and kiss me
And remind me that you love me
When I feel like an island
And the world can just go to hell
You take the time to rescue me
When I feel so unlovable,
When I can't get up and leave the house,
You take my hand and kiss me
And remind me that you love me

I can't tell you how awful I felt
When I told you I have to work tonight
You had plans for the two of us
But I sacrificed them for money
I can't help but feeling a little less
Than a good husband to deny our time together
Sure, I know that we need the funds
And maybe we'll both have to give something up to earn them
Including our time together

Where Do I Begin?
02:49
|
|||
Where do I begin now that
Our reconciliation has taken its first few baby steps?
Instead of assurance,
You have left me with more than a few nagging questions
Oh, I can't whittle my experience
Down to a few lines in a song
And I can't minimize all the pain
Down to a catchy refrain
How can I start to believe in you
After so many years of separation?
Oh, I can't whittle my experience
Down to a few lines in a song
And I can't minimize all the pain
Down to a catchy refrain

A Bittersweet Affair
03:17
|
|||
As I visit the home that I once shared
Before I started my own
As I look at the Christmas decorations
I once helped set up
I have an inkling of foresight
That I’ll forever cherish this moment,
This bittersweet affair
As I look upon the half-filled bed
He left a few months ago
I wonder how long you'll live here
In a house not deemed your own
I have an inkling of foresight
That I’ll forever cherish this moment,
That bought me here to see you tonight
To discuss your divorce again, again...
