A little longer, I said
It's going to be okay
I held on as I bled
Praying for the light of day
The night got darker still
The knife getting sharper still
The blade was as cold as ice
When I had to pay the price
Just a little longer, I chanted in my head
I should've been finding a way out instead
Uncertainty filled the road ahead
Dark as the night sky over my head
Just a little longer, it's going to be okay
That's all I ever hear myself say
The blade's getting closer, it's coming my way
I'm waiting for love to take me away
My skin's growing colder with each passing day
The fire in my heart slowly dimming away
I'm praying for someone to find me today
I'm holding on but still bleeding everyday
The water is pulling gently at my feet
I'm almost willing it take me to bed
I hear the depths: They call my name
As from the riverbanks my life drips red
Death held out his hand for me to take
Life held on to mine to keep me awake
As tempted as I am, I know what's at stake
Please, quickly come find me, for love's sake
