If All Should Fail

I said I’m gonna spend my time alone

'Cause it ain’t worth trying to find that lover’s soul

I said it’s better searching in myself

'Cause I couldn’t give away my love

Or spend my time with anybody else

But oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change

Oh Lord, are you feeling the same way

I said I better change my sinking thoughts

Before they pull me under to drown out everything I’ve got

And yet I find comfort in despair

'Cause I’ve wallowed in it far too long, when things go wrong

It feels good not to care

And oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change

Good God, are you feeling the same way

'Cause I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be

I am only a man, my sins of pride

Are swallowed down here by your side

Instead I’m gonna praise my stubborn heart

But I feel like dying, and I know I’m only at the start

And as the days go passing by

Well that window begins to close, and so it shows

When months turn into years, well I try

And oh, I believe I can make the change

Good God, are you feeling the same way

I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be

I am only a man, my sins of pride

Are swallowed down here by your side

If all should fail, so often does

Of lack of passion and lack of trust

But I would do it for her if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be
