Precious - Paatos

Not long, not long

That’s what he said — there’s nothing you can do

You were young and in love

Your life was still ahead of you

And in silence you prayed

Be strong, be strong

Will you find the strength to carry on?

Without hope and all is fear

There’s no one looking out for you my dear

And in silence you prayed

How long the nights that you stayed awake

So sleepless

And alone

All alone

Did you know how precious life would feel

When time’s your enemy?

Did you know how precious life would feel

When time’s your enemy?

No words, no words

Just keep it all inside, inside

It’s a curse but denial

Might just be what’s keeping you alive

And in silence you prayed

How long the nights that you stayed awake

So sleepless

And alone

All alone

Did you know how precious life would feel

When time’s your enemy?

Did you know how precious life would feel

When time’s your enemy?
