You tell me that youre leavin
You say that time will slow the bleedin
Of this heart that Ive placed into your hands
I held it out to you
Now you give it back what am I supposed to do?
Oh I had a feeling this day would come and leave me reeling
I just want to run back in your arms again
But theyre no longer there
To hold me safe inside to hold me anywhere

Ooh if I cant have you
Then I have to find a way to get through
Though I dont want to
I have to do my best to recall
That Im thankful that I held you at all

I miss you every morning and in the evening rain
Tonight its pouring and Im alone again
I count the seconds (count the seconds) between the thoughts of you
Im getting better baby Im almost up to two
Oh you had your reasons and I know
Some folks are seasons they got to come and go
But Im still tender (Im still tender) I miss the summertime
When I could feel your love and I could still feel mine


Ooh if I cant have you
Then I have to find a way to get through
Though I dont want to
I have to do my best to recall
That Im thankful that I held you

You gave me everything that I will need to walk this long road
(Show me the way to get back)
Gave me a sense of pride that I will carry with me
All the way back home

Ooh if I cant have you
Then I have to find a way to get through
Though I dont want to
I have to do my best to recall
That Im thankful that I held you at all

Im thankful that I held you
(Im thankful that I held you)
Im thankful that I held you
Im thankful that I held you held you held you
(Im thankful that I held you)
Im Im Im (thankful that I held you)
(Im thankful that I held you) yeah
(Im thankful that I held you)
