(Roger Wojahn)

There's an agony hangin' over me

you know, I'm losin' sleep

And I've run out of excuses

For why I let you leave

You said you needed a little time

But it's been too long

I know you need your independence, girl

But I'm not that strong

Well there's got to be a way

That we can make amends

This was all we ever wanted

So please don't let it end

Hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless

I've been told my love was gentle

Thought I had an easy touch

Until I met you, I never knew

You could love someone too much

Thought we'd last forever

I guess it just goes to show

If love is gonna put down roots

It's gotta have room to grow

My only crime of passion

Was that I pushed too hard

And if love's what I'm accused of

Then I'm guilty as charged

Hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless

Well I learned an honest lesson

Guess I never realized

If I overstepped my limit baby

Then I apologize

Won't you just hold me

Won't you just hold me

Come on and hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless

Hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless

Hold me harmless
