If I had my way, I would say "It's over darling."
If I could be brave, I would say "I'm leaving you."
But I must stay on till all hope is gone cause girl I know
Anywhere you go, you'll still be needing me.
If you feel you can't make it on your own my darling,
I'll be on your side when you can't find anyone but for now let's try just to get by.
Let the tide roll out, let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim.
If I could be strong, I'd be gone tomorrow morning. Still I play the part making life a broken toy.
But I must stay on till all hope is gone cause girl I know
Anywhere you go, you'll still be needing me.
Let the tide roll out, let the tide roll in, it's time to sink or swim.
