If All Should Fail

I said I’m gonna spend my time alone
'Cause it ain’t worth trying to find that lover’s soul
I said it’s better searching in myself
'Cause I couldn’t give away my love
Or spend my time with anybody else
But oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change
Oh Lord, are you feeling the same way

I said I better change my sinking thoughts
Before they pull me under to drown out everything I’ve got
And yet I find comfort in despair
'Cause I’ve wallowed in it far too long, when things go wrong
It feels good not to care
And oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change
Good God, are you feeling the same way

'Cause I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me
If this is where we ought to be
I am only a man, my sins of pride
Are swallowed down here by your side

Instead I’m gonna praise my stubborn heart
But I feel like dying, and I know I’m only at the start
And as the days go passing by
Well that window begins to close, and so it shows
When months turn into years, well I try
And oh, I believe I can make the change
Good God, are you feeling the same way

I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me
If this is where we ought to be
I am only a man, my sins of pride
Are swallowed down here by your side
If all should fail, so often does
Of lack of passion and lack of trust
But I would do it for her if she’d do it for me
If this is where we ought to be
