  • I may have faltered in my life
    but not with you I couldn’t make this up
    I’ve had trouble disengaging my heart
    but I'll bite the grenade pin out

    you know I want you
    you know I will fight
    down in the trenches
    holding your hand tight
    I will not make it out without you
    I'll bite the bullet
    I'll fall right through you

    sweet, sweet baby of mine
    you will be the one I call on for all time
    your weird mind, your bright eyes
    I’ve wasted so much time
    on all the things
    that don’t turn me on
    so let's fight on

    you know I want you
    you know I will fight
    down in the trenches
    holding your hand tight
    I will not make it out without you
    I'll bite the bullet
    I'll fall right through you

    and as the dust falls down
    I usually give up so easily
    I let my head hang down before I even see
    a truth as plain as day staring back at me
    I'm a defeatist but I don’t have to be Writer/s: Garron DuPree, Sherri DuPree-Bemis, Will Yip
