If the love I pour into you
Brings nothing but quiet aches,
Like I'm tethered to your heart
That only pull 'til something breaks.

Know that I mean no harm,
I'm only here, still holding on—
Not to wound, but to fight for us,
For all that we once were
And what's now gone.
Know that I never meant to cause you pain.
I'm just trying to save what's left in the rain.

But before I ever let you go,
I hope you remember what you used to know
Of the vows we made in joyous days,
When we believed in forever's ways.
