There's empty in your eyes my love
Seen it for a while now
I know that you tried my love
I'd keep you but I don't know how

I could fight this losing fight but
If you give up then so will I

Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of night

'Cause I'm holding on
With all of my might
You're standing here
Been gone a long time
Left in the rain
Left in the mud
Love strong as iron's
Still gonna rust

Gray December skies my love
Are crying on the cold ground
It's really got the best of us
You've seen the worst of me now

Started in a blaze now we're flickering
Talking to you now, are you listening?
I'm looking for the why but I'm missing it

Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of night

'Cause I'm holding on
With all of my might
You're standing here
Been gone a long time
Left in the rain
Left in the mud
Love strong as iron's
Still gonna rust

Sometimes a fire burns out
Sometimes a well runs dry
Sometimes a trail goes cold
Deep in the dead of night

I've been holding on
With all of my might
You're standing here
Been gone a long time
Left in the rain
Left in the mud
Love strong as iron's
Still gonna rust
