Hot/Cold (Darling, don't) - Strata

You said your hope was lost
My eyes were stinging hot
The first of the tears to fall
Hurts the worst of all
I had it all planned out
What I was going to say
But then that lump in my throat
Stole my words away

Darling, if nothing else
I know that this is true
I'd have nobody if I don't have you
But you said your hope was lost
My eyes were stinging hot
The first of the tears to fall

Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us

I said, “Look at the map on the wall
Put your fingers on where we are
No matter where I go we're just an inch apart”

You interrupted and said, “Not that old speech again
If we're just an inch apart
Then reach out and grab my hand”


Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us, don't give up

I know that this is true
At least it used to be
You'd have nobody if you don't have me
And didn't we say forever?
Didn't I promise you?
Didn't we say forever?

Darling, don't
Darling, don't
Don’t, don’t
We didn't come this far
Just to throw it all away

Have you given too much, darling?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us

Have you given too much away?
Are you giving us up?
Are you giving us up?
Did the going get tough this time?
Don't give up on us
