To have and to hold
And to let the love grow
And when it grows old
To let it all go
My misbelief severed
That I keep you forever
I am no longer welcome
I stayed for too long
I forced you to love me
You forced me to hurt me
And delivered the blows
As if it was all for me
The threatening whistle
I jump at the rattling
Like a key unlocking
The fears that feel false
Coming to Jesus
With what I had
versus what I lost
They are not the same
Can I once more
hold you?
Indulge my need
to live for you?
To find our end bitter
To feel like the quitter
I feel myself aging
And hardening
My misbelief severed
You are gone forever
No longer welcome
Forever gone
