for a while there it was rough

for a while there it was rough
but lately i’ve been doing better
than the last four cold decembers
i recall
and i see my family every month
i found a girl my parents love
she’ll come and stay the night
i think i might have it all
and i thank god everyday
for the girl he sent my way
but i know the things he gives me
he can take away
and i hold you every night
that’s a feeling i wanna get used to
but there’s no man as terrified
as the man who stands to lose you
oh i hope i don’t lose you
mmm
please
stay
i want you i need you oh god
don’t
take
these beautiful things that i’ve got
please stay
i want you i need you oh god
don’t take
these beautiful things that i’ve got
please don’t take,
i found my mind i’m feeling sane
it’s been a while but i’m finding my faith
if everything’s good and it’s great why do i sit and wait till it’s gone
oh i’ll tell ya i know i’ve got enough
i got peace,
and i got love,
but i’m up at night thinking i just might lose it all
please stay
i want you i need you oh god
don’t take
these beautiful things that i’ve got
please stay
i want you i need you oh god
i need
these beautiful things that i’ve got
