Raise Me Up

I am here at the heart of my life

The line falls between the weight of moments

And then the future pulls you from my sight
Frames of light flicker past me
Reeling forward

The way they go by reminds me of my pain

But even there it falls upon my eyes
And I falter out in to the night of London Street
A swollen darkness you can't imagine
That sways and holds my resigned better selves

Maybe I'm losing both of us
Tell me I'm not
Maybe our lives are tipping over
Take me
Raise me up
And lately my heart has slipped my hold
But maybe
Maybe I can reach

And maybe I'm an island, but make me like the sea
To pour across your shores and borders
Before it covers me
I will cover up the scars for you
And the dead parts of the past for you
Uncover your eyes for you to see
That no one has loved you this way
Nobody will love you this way
And though I know you feel it
I need you more to know

Am I strong enough to carry this?
Or too weak to let it go?
