Gonna write a letter to my baby

And this is what I'm gonna say

Second thought I think I'll take the time

To say it to her face



I can't eat, I can't sleep

I feel I'm going down for the last time

I'm sinking in your sea

Of insecurity



And do I love you? Yes I do

But I love my own life too



As I lay here holding your hand

I can't help but feel you don't understand

The tighter you hold on

The more that it's feeling like quicksand



Our fate is written in the stars

It's written on your face

You're holding too tight to my heart

It's gonna burst and leave an empty space



And do I love you? Yes I do

But I love my own life too



As I lay here holding your hand

I can't help but feel you don't understand

The tighter you hold on

The more that it's feeling like quicksand



And do I love you? Yes I do

But I love my own life too



As I lay here holding your hand

I can't help but feel you don't understand

The tighter you hold on

The more that it's feeling like quicksand
