lyrics

You want me to be brave
But I don’t know how
To summon that kind of courage
To do what you say
Is good for me will take
More than I know I can do

I don’t know why
You ask so much of me
Of anyone in my life, you know how I fail
But you put this in my hand
A promise I should keep
And I don’t want to carry something heavy

You should know
It’s not just these hands that fail
But this heart just gets so weak
I’m trying to show
That I want to give you more
But I don’t think I can do it alone

I don’t understand when you say I don’t
Have to be all that strong to make it
‘Cause the things you ask of me
Are hard and costly
And seem to take more than I have to give

You should know
It’s not just these hands that fail
But this heart just gets so weak
I’m trying to show
That I want to give you more
But I don’t think I can do it alone

You are here, you’re holding my hand
And you say, “My dear, you don’t understand”

“I never meant for you to do this on your own,”
You say, “My dear, I’ll take you there,
Then I will bring you home.”
