Theres no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices Im makin
Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin out the door.

If I lose you, baby

If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same,
If you walk away
Everyday it will rain
