The Benefit Lyrics by Alana Davis

Surrender Dorothy

0

I don’t ask for much but I can’t find the touch to soothe me
And looking down the line I wonder if there’s time to move me
I do believe in love but is anyone thinking of the things that I feel?
I know I’ve got the right to share my life with someone real
Today you said you’d love me forever
But I feel tomorrow we may not be together
And I know you think that if we’re righteous and clever
We’ll pull through against the odds, but baby
I’ve been on the fencе so long
Feeling like my hope’s all gone, so
How can I givе you the benefit
With everything- everything that’s gone down
How can I give you the benefit
When all I have
All I have is doubt
Love is like a gift that one may only get to borrow
You’re always wondering if it will still be there tomorrow
Every time I trust I wind up getting crushed and trampled
Show me love that lasts so I can learn from your example
Cause I know that it’s inside me
But I’m full of trepidations and fears that guide me
You could give me what my past has denied me
True love against all odds, well baby
I've been holding back so long
Thinking I’m just not that strong, so
How can I give you the benefit
With everything- everything that’s gone down
How can I give you the benefit
When all I have
All I have is doubt
We might have a chance to make this something to remember
Forget about romance, reality is much more tender
We’ll use your confidence to get us through the walls I run into
And maybe in the end I’ll learn to love as freely as you do
And I will do my very best to remember
True love can exist against all odds, baby
I’ve been down so long
Feeling like I’m just holding on so
How can I give you the benefit
With everything- everything that’s gone down
How can I give you the benefit
When all I have
All I have is doubt
How can I give you the benefit
With everything- everything that’s gone down
How can I give you the benefit
When all I have
All I have is doubt
