Let winter break Let it burn 'til I see you again I will be here with you Just like I told you I would I'd love to always love you But I'm scared of loneliness When I'm, when I'm alone with you I know it's hard Only you and I Is it all for me? Because I know it's all for you And I guess, I guess It is hell and you are the only thing I've ever truly known So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you And where did she go? Truth left us long ago And I need her tonight because I'm scared of loneliness with you, baby And I should let it go But all that is left is my perspective, broken and so left behind again I know it's hard Only you and I Is it all for me? Because I know it's all for you And I guess, I guess It is hell and you are the only thing I've ever truly known So, I hesitate, if I can act the same for you And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you And my darlin', I'll be rooting for you
