Please Pardon Yourself

As I turn my head to your side of the bed
While you wake, what's on your mind?
To this awful news try not to hold on
The day will come, the sun will rise and we'll be fine

As long as I feel, as strong as I feel
I will carry you as long as I can
As hard on yourself, please pardon yourself
Do the best you can and that won't go unseen

How do I know when it's time to stop?
Runnin' from the things I do, being things I'm not
Oh, I have tried, I have tried to change my mind
Every night befalls every morning light

So how do I know that you will never stop?
Knowin' me and trustin' me and lovin' me a lot
Oh, I have tried, I have tried to change my mind
Every night befalls every morning light

Well, there's only so many ways
You can give your loving to me
But I'd give my soul for just for one of them now
I'd give up the drinking, just tell me how
'Cause it's hard

And there's only so many years
But I'm gonna waste my love on you
'Cause I spent the last one just hidden away
Screaming my lungs out with nothing to say, yeah

As I turn my head to your side of the bed
While you wake, what's on your mind?
To this awful news try not to hold on
The day will come, the sun will rise and we'll be fine
