Darlin' If

(album: Delta Rae - 2010)

The light that shined upon us once
Is swiftly dimming now, and I'm
Afraid to watch us tip
Or else to watch us wither

The lips that once spoke truth to me
And brought white heat upon my mouth
Have gone cold at the source
The sun won't lift our winter

And I'm scared cause I can't seem to lift you darling
But each of us falling is not helping either stand
I just want you to know I was sincere
When I said I loved you all those years

And Darling if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free

And Darling if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free

The child that sleeps within your dreams
But never rested in your arms,
Is now a promise broke
A hurt that I won't share.

I asked you once to let it go
Shed these chains that pull us low.
But if I know you well
These are not words to bear.

But I'm tired cause there's no hoping left in our embraces
I'm watching my one life as it falls to shadows
That haunt your eyes
I will be strong I will be your wings
But I can't stay if our lives are bound to this

Darling if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free

Darling if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free

So young we started in love
Too old to start again now

So young we started in love
Too old to start again now

So young we started in love
Too old to start again now

Darling if
If I don't love you
Could I still
Could I carry your weight

Darling if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free

Darling if, Darlin if'
I don't love you
Could I still could I still
Carry your weight?
This weighs on me
To be good or free

Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay

Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay

Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay

Darling if
I ain't gonna love you
Could I still
Could I stay
