I Won't Be There

*Note
Edited: Last time changed it from "You said to me" to "You'd say to me". Meaning she is still with me but if she were to leave it'd be my fault and I'd have to live with it, feeling like as if my world had crumbled. All alone I would remain.

Late nights hard at work,
Cause I promised you so much...
Trying to find the perfect words
And I'm not giving up...
I'm giving this all I've got,
I'm giving this my all
I'm sorry if I'm what your not,
I'm sorry if I let this fall...

Yeah well maybe you know,
I probably wont make it...
But you never let it show
Knowing i couldn't take it...
I don't have time to live slow,
Now I just gotta face it...
Cause if you had to let me go,
I bet we both would hate it...

I feel if i let you down,
You'd have no choice but to leave...
I feel with you not around,
I wouldn't know how to breath...
(Cause I can't paint a picture,
of a world not with her...
No I Cant Paint A Picture,
of a World Not With Her)

I'm sure days would be cold,
If you weren't next to me...
You'd find someone else to hold
And it'd get the best of me...
Cause I'd carry the guilt,
Trying to find a way to see...
Past all the walls you built,
After you'd say to me..

(And you can try to fight this all you want... And I won't be there, I won't be there... When you're all alone...)

    I am left with a question, is he there or did he leave which is not a bad thing, since it allows me to decide for myself. The message I seem to get is that someone can work so hard to make a good life for their loved one, no realizing that it may take its toll on the relationship and the person will be gone anyway and you will be alone. Well done.
