As Long As You Got Me

As Long As You Got Me

When love was like a dagger, you spoke to me
Only words that I could possibly know
you spoke your words fluently
And with time made my heart grow

You showed me the beauty of life
With all the twists and turns we could handle
But like an ugly knife
Some of the fountain began to crumble

We move like a strong tide
Trying to overcome each obstacle
But even with my arms out wide
The wave had such a strong pull

I have you, and I'll always have you, and I love this
But, some things in life are much more,
More than the strongest kiss
Can we possibly even the score

I can't handle this twisted game we're playing
It overwhelms even the strongest of players
But, to do it with you, is what I'm saying
It makes it so much easier, to rip through all the layers

To have each other in this storm is all I need
The other half of my heart and soul
Together we will run with this stampede
And figure it out as a whole

I know life is hard, but you got me
To ride together in the lightening and rain
To make it through this insanity
To overcome the love and pain

I love having you by my side
My rock, my love, and my companion
We've gotten through this roaring tide
So we got anything under the sun
