NEEDTOBREATHE Lyrics
"Be Here Long"

close my eyes and think of you
go to sleep and dream of you
we dont get to be here long

i gave you the best of me
loved you more than anything
but we don't get to be here long

we don't get to be here long

and though my heart may be in pieces
my eyes are still set on you
and though i cant keep it together
i know that you want me too

oh i'm swimming in the grief and
there's no anchor that could hold me down
i don't want any relief
cuz i don't wanna let you go right now

close my eyes and think of you
go to sleep and dream of you
we don't get to be here long
[we don't get to, we don't get to be here]

i gave you the best of me
loved you more than anything
but we don't get to be here long

all your moments were a charity
they gave me more than i could use
yeah i know you found the promised land
but i'm still here and i'm missing you

close my eyes and think of you
go to sleep and dream of you
we don't get to be here long
[we don't get to, we don't get to be here]

i gave you the best of me
loved you more than anything
but we don't get to be here long

when the day comes
and the fire is out
i wanna know that
i gave you all - i gave you all i had

when the day comes
and the fire is out
i wanna know that
i gave you my everything

close my eyes and think of you
go to sleep and dream of you
we don't get to be here long
[we don't get to, we don't get to be here]

i gave you the best of me
loved you more than anything
but we don't get to be here long
we don't get to be here long

we don't get to be here long
