Know I let you down, and I'm sorry for that
There's a million things that I'd take back
Honey, lie down, close your eyes, try to forget
We're not always gonna live like this
Check to check, month to month, hand to fist...
Lie down... try to forget the things I've done
All the times I've made us run
If we give up now, it'll mean they've won
Life's too long to make mistakes
Around the corner is where they wait
The pain is hard to keep at bay
But remember, don't let it slip away
There's a lifetime ahead of us
Don't Let It Slip Away
Just on the other side of this mess
Don't let it slip away
Hold it tight, hold it close
The worst part's over, for the most
Just catch your breath...
I look at the sacrifices that you've made
It makes me wonder why you've always stayed
Through the hard times. When it was only me holding you back
All we have is each other and our dreams
And if we lose either one, what does the other mean?
Not a damn thing... and I've seen you put yours on hold
Even when your beat, you never fold
It won't be long til your heart turns cold
Life's too long to make mistakes
Around the corner is where they wait
The pain is hard to keep at bay
But remember, don't let it slip away
There's a lifetime ahead of us
Just on the other side of this mess
Don't let it slip away
Hold it tight, hold it close
The worst part's over, for the most
Just catch your breath...
