Natalie Merchant - If You Intend lyrics

[Verse 1:] If you intend to live again Open your eyes and don't pretend you're feeling There's nothing worth believing If you persist you'll die like this And wither in the midst of your first season Cut down with no reason [Chorus:] How can you be so near and not see everything? [Verse 2:] If you intend to live again Take the outstretched hand of the one that needs you It's been so long, we've missed you Why do you intend to speed your end Lye in the dark and let your limbs grow weaker Sinking low then deeper? [Chorus] [Outro:] Feel what might be See what i see Again and again and again say you don't You say you don't, but you will
