just a little longer

we're only fooling ourselves
the distance grows
each tick tock becomes a wedge  between
until i know it has to end

Oh but just hold me for a while
before i have to go
love me just a little more
like only you can do

just a little longer baby,
and then i'll leave;
still feeling your fingers on my skin

I wander through the days
half asleep; my heart is numb
then i find my way back to you
and i wonder why i ever left

whispers say that i should go
but still my heart beats for a love
that can not last

could you just hold me for a little bit
before i go? Lie to me and say,
"We'll always be like this."
two broken hearts made whole.
