First love, first loss.

lyrics

I Abide © 2012 Jay Spears Music ASCAP

Should've known long ago when you told me you would go
That the longer the sunshine the harder the rain.
Guess forewarned wasn't armed; never dreamed I'd feel so low,
But I won't let the sun catch me cryin' again.
Tough I gave you a lot, that's not half of what I've got
And the pain's just the payment for what I've been taught.

I remain. I abide.
Alone and strong and open, secure, enduring hoping, I abide.

Dried the tears that I wept for the secrets that we kept
Realizing the promise those secrets contained.
The serene balmy calm of the mornings when we slept --
I'll just have to accept that only memories remain.
Yes I know you never lied; guess I let my heart get tied.
But I won't blow my cover, I'll take it in stride.

I remain....

How much time, how much space, since we last stood in that place
And agreed to allow what we could not explain?
All the years can't erase senses of that last embrace
And my mind starts to chase thoughts my heart entertains.
And it's easy for me, now at last that I'm free.
If you're back, I'm ready; if not, you will see:

I remain. I abide.
Alone and strong and open, secure, enduring, hoping;
At last at peace about you,
With you or without you, I abide.
