not to you

broad and strong your shoulders
like soft steel
the embracement like no other
oh the safety
i close my heavy eyes and i pray
pray that this moment would never end

please why is this so hard
it cracks my ribs and breaks my heart to see you leave

just one tender kiss and a touch on my arm
send me flying i'm crying
to myself
i see the images playing
like a broken record over and over

please why is this so hard
it racks my brain and stains my heart
to see you walk down those solid stairs
again

please why is this so hard
i can't say goodbye
not to you, not to you
not to you, not to you

not to you
