Hanging On a Prayer

I have this strong urge to just walk away
but I cannot seem to do so,
Something in my heart is telling me that I should stay
and to just try and hold on.
The situation is getting much too thick and troubling
I am getting tired of always trying to make amends,
Often times I find myself asking
"How long can I continue to stand by my man?"
I knew all was not always going to be a bed of roses
we were going to have our share of ups and downs,
But it seems as though that here lately
all I have been doing is shedding more tears instead of smiles.
The few arguemetns I find are slowly wearing me down
I wish that they would just end rather quickly,
The few arguements that we have had always makes me feel so down
to the  point I become physically sick.
I am trying my best in hanging in there
but I am finding myself slowly losing my grasp,
I am just hanging on a prayer
for how long will our love really last?
