When I'm a breath away from going down A step away from losing ground And the price for love has come due And when I'm just barely hanging on On the edge of too far gone And I need something to get me through CHORUS 1: When there's no reason to believe And life ain't all it's cracked up to be Let it roll over me When my last chance goes up in smoke And I can't see a shred of hope And the tears can't wash away these blues
And when my best shot keeps fallin' short And I don't care much anymore 'Cause my poor heart feels used CHORUS 2: When love ain't all that fair I sing out a simple prayer Let it roll over me Let it roll, let it wash away Let it all fall where it may Let it roll right over me CHORUS 3: When there's no place left to run Yeah, if that day should ever come Let it roll over me Let it roll over me
