Now I'm drowning, in the flood

  You see I've always been a fighter

But without you

I'd give up
 
[Pre-chorus 1]

   Now I can't sing a love song

Like the way it's meant to be

Now the pictures that
You left behind

From a different life

Some that made us laugh
Some that made us cry

Have to say goodbye

What I'd give to run my fingers
Throught your hair

  Touch your lips
To hold you near

When you say your prayers
Try to understand

I've made mistakes

I'm just a man

When he holds you close
When he pulls your near

When he says the words
You've been needing to hear

I wish, I was him
'Cause these words are mine

To say to you

Till the end of time

  If you told me to die for you

I would

Take a look at my face
