Darlin

Darlin', I swear my heart belongs to you to do with as you will
When I'm not around I want you to know that I'm
Always with you still
Such a treasured Christmas Eve spent between us you
And me
Sometimes I think my cup has runneth over

Darlin', I swear you got it all mixed up
I'm just an empty space
Without you to hold me I just blow away
And leave hardly a trace

Every morning I decide what to show and what to hide
I just put on the face and keep it going

What can I do when you're looking askance and you're tenderly placing
Your trust in my hands in the back of my mind
I know what I'll find: I must desert you, I know it will hurt you
I don't belong
I won't be long after this song

Darlin', don't think it was an easy choice to leave you on your own
If I'm made to carry on I'll drown us both
Now my moral compass broke

We'll live on in memory
All the photos will agree that's the way you should look back at me

What can I do when you ask me the truth
And I tell you there's nothing to say or to do that will make it all
Better, make it okay so I'll write
You this letter, then I'll away and I

I don't belong
And I won't be long, and I'll say 'so long'
So I'll write you this letter, then I'll away and I
I don't belong

And I won't be long
And I'll say 'so long'
After I sing this song
Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Darlin', I swear I loved you all I could
