[Verse 1] Her voice begins to crack And her eyes look away I've been here before Still I don't know what to say I put my hand on top of hers And tell her all will be okay And that I will be here tomorrow As I am here today Tears begin to roll down her cheek She opens her heart Begins to speak [Chorus] Would you think less of me if I told you how I feel? I'm as tired as a winter branch is In the trees in the field That for so long have had to carry such a load And they fear they may break at the next coming snow [Verse 2] My heart breaks into a thousand pieces like gla** My mind begins to wander down a familiar path It takes me to a hospital room Where my grandmother lay The cancer is eating her body away Suddenly she smiles Her eyes open wide And she says she sees Jesus and the angels by her side She puckers up her lips I kiss her goodbye Put my hand on top of hers And I watch her die [Chorus] Would you think less of me if I told you how I feel? I'm as tired as a winter branch is In the trees in the field That for so long have had to carry such a load And fear they may break at the next coming snow [Bridge] There is love There is beauty And then there is pain And at the moment I can't help but feel That they are all the same [Verse 3] You know I'd fight a thousand angry panthers Screaming in the night If it meant you would be kept safe, sound, and all right But the only thing I've had to fight is you Now I'm giving up There is nothing else to do So let me hold you in my arms again once more Then I am going to leave And forever close the door [Chorus] Would you think less of me if I told you how I feel? I'm as tired as a winter branch is In the trees in the field That for so long have had to carry such a load And fear they may break at the next coming snow
