If We Have to Let Go

We've been down roads both paved and torn

Watched promises wear thin with the years we've worn

You're the best I've ever known my truest friend

But I've been the storm that left you broken trying to mend

And I know the weight of every tear I made you cry

I'm the reason you're afraid to let love try

But I hope we can find a way to heal

Even if our love's a little fragile a little real

If we break and bend then we learn to stand

And if we have to let it go I'll still hold your hand

We've seen our dreams go quiet in the hardest nights

Fought the cold of all the wrongs that never made it right

You deserve a love that's whole and free

And I'll carry the blame if that love can't be with me

But I'll never stop hoping that we find a way

Even if we're standing on the edge of yesterday

But I hope we can find a way to heal

Even if our love's a little fragile a little real

If we break and bend then we learn to stand

And if we have to let it go I'll still hold your hand

Maybe time will heal what words can't mend

Maybe love is stronger at the broken ends

And if we find a way through the shadows and the scars

We'll know that fragile love is still who we are

So I hope we can find a way to heal

Even if our love's a little fragile a little real

If we break and bend then we learn to stand

And if we have to let it go I'll still hold your hand
