There's an agony hangin' over me

You know, I'm losin' sleep

And I've run out of excuses

For why I let you leave

You said you needed a little time

But it's been too long

I know you need your independence, girl

But I'm not that strong



Well there's got to be a way

That we can make ammends

This was all we ever wanted

Please don't let it end



Hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless



I've been told my love was gentle

Thought I had an easy touch

Until I met you, I never knew

You could love someone too much



Thought we'd last forever

I guess it just goes to show

If love is gonna put down roots

It's gotta have room to grow



My only crime of passion

Was that I pushed too hard

And if love's what I'm accused of

Then I'm guilty as charged



Hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless 



Well I learned an honest lesson

Guess I never realized

If I overstepped my limit

Then I apologize



Won't you just hold me

Won't you just hold me



Hold me harmless

There's nothin' else I can do

I'll always love you baby

Show some kindness

And hold me harmless
