The lights are getting brighter, I think I'm going under the knife
I want to be a fighter so I can try and get through this life
This open wound critically needs intensive care
I hope faith comes soon to tell me I'm not beyond repair

I wish I could give you what you thought I could give
but I'm barely surviving 'cause I haven't learned how to live
and I'm going to need some time baby for the scars to heal
before I can feel

'cause I've got this heart condition
that's keeping me from loving you

My vitality is weakening, I need a lifeline
The fatality of my lovability is uncertain at this time
Well you know I'd love you, honey you know I would
but I can't stop the bleeding so I don't think I could
I'm going to need some time baby for the scars to heal
before I can feel

just let me breathe...
oh this emergency
I can't breathe

Honey you know I'd love you, you know I would, oh you know I would...
I'm going to need some time baby, some time for the scars to heal...
'cause I've got this
heart condition
I'm doing all I can do
this serious situation
my heart condition
that's keep me from loving you
