“One Day More”
One day more and maybe I’ll find him
If I just keep looking, keep listening to my heart
I know he’s counting on me to do all I can
and I know he’ll forgive me if I fail
but then, I could never forgive myself
One day more and maybe he’ll hurt a little less
If I just keep on holding him, comforting him while he cries
I know he’s counting on me to see him through this
and I know he’ll forgive me if I cry too
but then, that’s the way it always is with us
One day more and maybe he’ll forgive me
If I just keep on trying, keep trying to explain
I know he’s counting on me to make sense of this
and I know he’ll forgive me if I ask him to
but then, could I ever forgive myself?
One day more and maybe he’ll come back to me
If I just keep on praying, keeping bargaining with God
I know he’s counting on me to keep the faith for him
and I know he’ll forgive me if I can’t
but then, would I ever find that faith again?
One day more and maybe we’ll start over
If I can just convince him that it’s time for us to leave this life behind
I know he’s counting on me to stand beside him
and I know he’ll forgive me if I want us to chose a new path
but then, what are best friends for?
