[Verse 1]
If I could tell you now
Tell you how I feel
Is that so hard?
When it's all for you
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around
[Verse 2]
Gonna sit now
Gonna sit and watch the night fall
There's nothing more
It takes your breath away
It's all for you
There's so much to carry around
[Hook]
But if she's torn
Put another stitch for me
Give her what she needs and
Put another stitch for me
[Verse 3]
It doesn't even stir now
No more does it leave
It just performs
It cannot burst with joy
It just takes toil
Hard work and toil
[Verse 4]
I can't tell you how I feel
When all you've got is company
You're sweating now
It's pouring down your brow
There's nothing here at all
There's only you
There's so much to carry around
[Hook]
But if she's torn
Put another stitch for me
Give her what she needs and
Put another stitch for me
[Verse 5]
If I could tell you now
Tell you how I feel
I'm putting coin after coin
Just to hear you breathe
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around
[Verse 6]
Can't feel any better now
Let your children crawl all over me
Like I need to prove I don't deserve you anyhow
There's so much to leave
There's so much to carry around
[Hook]
But if she's torn
Put another stitch for me
Give her what she needs and
Put another stitch for me
