A Ballad For Her Lyrics

by Brian Webb

Well I've been almost 19 for almost a year now
And you've been almost always everything I need
I close my eyes to hide my face
But you should know that my heart breaks
Almost always, every time you leave

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e62621-brian_webb~a_ballad_for_her_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus]
But when I wrap myself around you
And breathe your name in eager time
Even you believe you love me
and even I believe you are all mine
And when you bury your head
where my shoulder meets my neck
I'll trade a moment of your attention
for a lifetime of regret

I live to see your expression move to pleasure
But my love, you will not measure up to everything
I seem to almost, always need
And I close my eyes to hide your face
and you should know that my heart breaks
Almost always, every time you leave

[Chorus]

But I could've been stronger, I could've been kinder
I didn't have to jade the life of this girl
I could've been stronger, I could've been wiser
I could've been a light to her in this world
