if you could only see
just what you are and what you mean to me
then you'd know what I mean
when I say I need you
you are the only place
that I can really call my home
and my actions are selfish
but I hope you can soldier on
once I'm gone
and though the moment
soon flies
we need this gift
to survive
our future lives through
this gift
when I first saw you smile
it's like I saw myself through different eyes
now I know just what it means
to have somebody need you
your age of innocence
will soon be too quickly gone
but I'll do the best I can
to help you to soldier on
once I'm gone
and though the moment
soon flies
we need this gift
to survive
our future lives through
this gift
so blindly I've been traveling
too self-involved to see
the beauty of the things in front of me
though I'm living on borrowed time
I hope my efforts to redeem
could bring a healing
and though the moment
soon flies
we need this gift
to survive
our future lives through
this gift
