You pull your hand away
Wiping the sweat off your face
And still, I linger on
There’s got to be some for me, tomorrow
You took my breath away
Watching my footsteps fade
And still, I linger on,
But I will be gone from here, tomorrow
Cause is it too much to ask for, I know
It’s been too much, too little, too long
Because everyone knows, no-one knows
It’s been too much to carry alone
Surrendered to your arms
Falling into your shadow
And still, I lingered on
Where could I have gone with no tomorrow?
As you painted us a whole life
Funny how I couldn’t decide
It’s clear, I must go on
And leave you alone with your tomorrow
Cause is it too much to ask for, I know
It’s been too much, too little, too long
Feels like everyone knows, no-one knows
It’s been too much to carry the load
When you find that a better life
is a heartbreak away
Never mind about that silver lining,
it was kinda grey
As I walk away, I know
Freedom may taste like sorrow
But still, I will go on
To wherever I want to be, tomorrow
Cause is it too much to ask for, I know
It’s been too much, too little, too long
Feels like everyone knows, no-one knows
It’s been too much to carry the load
Darling, it’s water that’s under the bridge
No, it’s too much for me to forgive
Because everyone knows, no-one knows
It’s been too much to carry alone
