Stumble

I’m no good at tests, babe I really must confess

I keep trying to understand but then I second guess

Seems every step I take, my legs just start to shake

My head can’t seem to deal with another heartbreak

I try to tell you all about it but my mind’s a jumble

When I try to say the words babe all I do is mumble

It makes me angry, makes me hurt and I start to grumble

I’m trying to be strong for you , carry the load but I stumble

I’ll be here till the end of time, go through the motions like a mime

Pouring coffee to an empty chair, loneliness seems such a crime

Our hearts synchronize, I hear you laugh see how you blink your eyes

I fight the silence and always lose, babe I’m at the brink he cries

I try to tell you all about it but my mind’s a jumble

When I try to say the words babe all I do is mumble

It makes me angry, makes me hurt and I start to grumble

I’m trying to be strong for you , carry the load but I stumble

Help me walk, hold my head straight, goddamn the distance we create

Close the gap, bridge the span; join my heart to yours honey consecrate

Bless us and keep us together, mated for life  we’re

If it’s cold we’ll snuggle. Crank the AC if it’s hot so we can snuggle in any weather

I try to tell you all about it but my mind’s a jumble

When I try to say the words babe all I do is mumble

It makes me angry, makes me hurt and I start to grumble

I’m trying to be strong for you , carry the load but I stumble

So let me lean on you, you can lean on me too

We might stumble a lot, but we’ll get through

Stumble with me babe, let’s stumble off into the sunset...
