[Pre-Chorus 1] Let me catch my breath to breathe then reach across the bed Just to know we're safe, I am a grateful man The slightest bit of light and I can see you clear
[Pre-Chorus 2] For every choice, mistake I made, it's not my plan To send you in the arms of another man And if you choose to stay, I'll wait, I'll understand
[Chorus 2] Ooh, it's a fragile thing, this life we lead If I think too much, I can get over- Whelmed by the grace, by which we Live our lives with death over our shoulders Want you to know, that should I go I always loved you, held you high above too I studied your face, the fear goes away

[Outro] The fear goes away, the fear goes away The fear goes away The fear goes away, ah-ah, oh-oh, ah-ah, oh-oh Ah-ah, oh-oh, ah-ah, oh-oh
