If I had the strength to do whats right, I wouldn't let you hold my heart so tight
If God above would help me fight, I would run away from you tonight

CHORUS
Baby could you hold it give me just a moment, I just need to catch my breath
Hear the storm a blowin', baby we both know that this could be life or death
You rushed in like a hurricane and threw me down,
You knocked the wind out of me and you rained until I drowned
innocent lives lost, when love and disaster cross, dying in a man made mess I caused

I'm scared that God my soul may smite, if I could let you go I'd see the light
If heaven help me then I might, maybe I can save my soul tonight

Baby could you hold it give me just a moment, I just need to catch my breath
Hear the storm a blowin', baby we both know that this could be life or death
Please let go of my hand you have to understand we're headed for a greater fall
I'll try my best to stand thinking I'm a better man, but guess I wasn't after all
