If Not For You

Hope and faith collided I just don't know where to go
The lines on my face track the years I should know
A sadness returns and continues to grow
I feel in my heart I should just let it go.

I see a light at the end it blinds me from truth
I wish for simpler times the innocence of youth
Things get harder no matter what I try
The laughter fades and turns into cries.

I wonder sometimes why I'm still here
I seem to find comfort when you are near
I feel so much sorrow for what I put you through
I never would have made it here if not for you.

The skies begin to cloud and the sun has gone away
The light just filters through with the things you say
I want you to know that I'll always love you
You are the reason I'm here and I do what I do.
