 For  all the hours here that move  too slow
 There's all this letting  go, that don't pass
If  all this love is real, how  will we know?
 If we're only  scared of losing it, how will it last?
If  I am a stranger  now to you
 I will always be,  I will always be
Stronger  now then me,  stronger then you
 Our love will always be
 And if we let  it go,  I will try to be there for you
 If I can, what if I can't?
 Today is yesterday when you don't know
 How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
 To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
 Who you want to hide your darkness from
 So they won't let you down
 If I am a stranger now to you
 I will always be, I will always be
 Stronger now then me, stronger then you
 Our love will always be
 And if we let it go, I  will try to be there for you
 I will try and be there for you
 If I can, what if I can't?

 There's all this letting go, that won't pass
 If all this love is real, how will we know?
 And if were only scared of losing it, how will it last?
 If I am a stranger now to you
 I will always be, I will always be
 Stronger now then me, stronger than you
 Our love will always be
 If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
 I will try to be there for you
 I will try to be there for you
 If I can, what if I can't?

Today is yesterday when you don't know
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
Who you want to hide your darkness from
So they won't let you down

If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, [Dadd4]I will try to be there for you [C]
I will try and be there for [Dadd4]you

If I can, what if I can't?
