Be Here Long - NEEDTOBREATHE

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don’t get to be here long

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don’t get to be here long

We don’t get to be here long

And though my heart may be in pieces

My eyes are still set on you

And though I can’t keep it together

I know that you want me, too

Oh, I’m swimming in the grief

And there’s no anchor that can hold me down

I don’t want any relief

Cause I don’t wanna let you go right now

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don’t get to be here long

(We don’t get to, we don’t get to be here)

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don’t get to be here long

Though your moments were a charity

They gave me more than I could use

I know you found the promise land

But I’m still here and I’m missing you

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don’t get to be here long

(We don’t get to, we don’t get to be here)

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don’t get to be here long

When the day comes and the fire is out

I wanna know that I gave you all, I gave you all I had

Yeah, when the day comes and the fire is out

I wanna know that I gave you my everything

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

But we don’t get to be here long

(We don’t get to, we don’t get to be here)

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don’t get to be here long

Oh, we don’t get to be here long
