Lyrics

I Won't Break You

So many ways to make you smile are hiding inside me.
So many ways to make you cry are surfacing in spite of me.
And it's gonna be so hard 'cause I don't want to have to leave,
But I'm not going very far - we can make this work, can't we?

'Cause I won't break you,
And I won't shake you,
No, I won't bring you down.
But I can't feel you,
And I can't be near you,
But I need you right now.

I am hopeful in a strength to keep us.
But I am frightened by the space between us.
And I have trust that what is meant to be will be,
And all I know is that when I close my eyes, you're all I see.

And I won't break you,
And I won't shake you,
No, I won't bring you down.
But I can't feel you,
And I can't be near you,
But I need you right now.

Who are we to throw away
Something that could be so much more.
Who are we to just say
That this love's not worth fighting for?

'Cause I won't break you,
And I won't shake you,
And I won't bring you down.
But I can't feel you,
And I can't be near you,
But I need you right now.
