Gonna write a letter to my baby

And this is what I'm gonna say


Second thought I think I'll take the time


To say it to her face




I can't eat, I can't sleep


I feel I'm going down for the last time

I'm sinking in your sea


Of insecurity




And do I love you? Yes I do


But I love my own life too




As I lay here holding your hand


I can't help but feel you don't understand


The tighter you hold on

The more that it's feeling like quicksand





Our fate is written in the stars

It's written on your face


You're holding too tight to my heart


It's gonna burst and leave an empty space




And do I love you? Yes I do


But I love my own life too




As I lay here holding your hand


I can't help but feel you don't understand

The tighter you hold on


The more that it's feeling like quicksand




And do I love you? Yes I do


But I love my own life too




As I lay here holding your hand


I can't help but feel you don't understand


The tighter you hold on

The more that it's feeling like quicksand
