Better or Worse
Does for better or worse count when you're not even married
Is it fair to take on a load you were never meant to carry
You give your everything just to be let down
No matter how much you paddle you're still about to drown
I love you with every breath but is that enough
I try to speak to you but you don't understand me and walk away in a huff
Calling me sensitive would be considered an understatement
I do everything I can to try to be patient
I just want to run away from everything and everyone
Hoping this helpless feeling will be followed by some miraculous outcome
My mother taught me to be strong and never let them see you stumble
Any mountain can be climbed no matter how jagged or crumbled
That won't happen unless we communicate and work together as a team
We always come out on top despite how impossible it seems
If our love is strong and truly unbreakable
Stop pushing me away and be emotionally available
It's almost too late I've had about enough
But I'm no quitter and I'm trying to be tough
It's now or never, either hold on or let go
It's our time to shine and to continue to grow
I'm feeling weak but I'll hold on a little bit longer
What doesn't kill us will only make us stronger
I'll be waiting with arms open wide
Please remember I'll always be by your side
For better or worse i promise I'll stay
But only if you promise to stop pushing me away
