Sapling

I remember way back when
 I felt only ennui
 Like nothing could complete me
 ♪
 No promise of a rising sun
 Illuminating everyone
 The very thought defeated
 ♪
 My life was a blinded light
 Must be what it's like when worlds collide
 Especially when he sees her
 Pretty soon he'll tease her
 I was on the road too long
 My laboured lover only song
 Not one of them a keeper
 ♪
 But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
 I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
 But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
 I once built a bower, I could build you a home
 Together forever but forever and on
 Is still not long enough, still not long enough
 You look confused in your eyes
 And I could see myself as a child
 Such a devastating feeling
 I wished I could go back in time
 But all I could do was apologize
 Right then your eyes were healing
 Healing
 Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone
 I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
 But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
 I once built a bower, I could build you a home
 Together forever but forever and on
 Is still not long enough, still not long enough
 Oh, I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel
 Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough
 To lay every one of my cards on the table
 Hope it's not too late for us to find a way to
 If I woke in the morning to find you were gone
 I know I'd try and find the will to be strong
 But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough?
 I once built a bower, I could build you a home
 Together forever but forever and on
 Is still not long enough, it's still not long enough
 I will look, get inside myself for a home
 Find only a sapling in search of an oak
 Better to start my love, oh, it's a start my love
 But am I strong enough?
