I know I should be sinking
As I sail these Seas of Sadness,
But your words keep my heart afloat
Your smile fills me with gladness,

I know I should be falling
From these Cold and Cloudy Skies
But your thoughts lighten my spirit
As I spread my wings to fly

I know I should be freezing
From the Cold Crisp Icey Snow
But your beauty fills me with warmth
I don't want to ever let you go

I know I should be stumbling
On this Rough and Rocky Road
But you won't let me falter
When it's my hand you hold

I know I should be aching
From my Broken Beaten Heart
But your love won't let me feel the pain
Of my life you are a part

I know I should be crying
I know I should be dying
And yet my soul is flying
And yet my heart is sighing

For your the one I love
For your the one I need
You burn brightly in my heart
And yet you make it bleed

You cause me so much pain
I don't know how I can cope
But when I look upon your face
I am filled with hope

So although I may be all alone
Just a candle in the night
When the world is dark around me
When nothing seems quite right

I think of what you mean to me
I think of what I would say
I think of the happiness in my heart
I would have, for just one day

If you were the one by my side
If you were to let me take you in my arms
I would stop this world from hurting us
I would not let you come to harm

I know I think pure thoughts
In the Crazy Corrupt so Called life
I know I belive what's in my heart
I know the pain cuts like a knife

I know it's cold without you
I know it's cold when you are near
I know if I were to speak my words
That you would never hear

Sometimes we have to make a stand
And sometimes we have to go
Sometimes it's nice to see what's in your heart
But sometimes it hurts to know

But I know there will come a day
And though it may take a while
My heart will heal, my pain will go
And I'll remember how to smile
