Hope's around my throat
I can't seem to grieve
Give me something that I can understand
Who am I holding on to?
Am I holding on to you
Or someone I never knew?
I can't beg, I can't plead
Here I am on my knees
You can leave, don't go far
I don't know where you are
But I'll be here
When you're ready
When I'm ready
I hope you'll be there
Keep me on my feet
I crave each word you speak
So tender, it's like home
Oh, I can't let you go
I can't beg, I can't plead
Here I am on my knees
You can leave, don't go far
I don't know where you are
But I'll be here
When you're ready
When I'm ready
I hope you'll be there
I hope you'll be there
I can't beg, I can't plead
Here I am on my knees
You can leave, don't go far
I don't know where you are
But I'll be here (I'll be here)
When you're ready (I'll be ready)
When I'm ready
I hope you'll be there (I)
(I, I'll be ready)
