Chris Robeson - Held You Lyrics

You were never mine, it was just my turn
At least this time I was quick to learn
That you can't hold on forever
Around each corner there's somethin' better
I've seen the sadness hidden in your smile
At least I held you for a while
At least I held you for a while
Pretty lies within our words
Ugly truths always claim the final verse
No you can't hold on forever
And when that last day came, I just shrugged my shoulders
There's an exit sign nearly every mile
At least I held you for a while
At least I held you for a while
I'm almost there
Almost a lesson I can bear
Though I still seek comfort in love like a child
Yea I'm almost smart
With this patchwork quilt of the heart
As it gains another tile
At least I held you for a while
At least I held you for a while
At least I held you for a while
At least I held you
