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
