Tarot Cards and Tea Leaves Lyrics

I feel a hole in the pit of my stomach
The ticking clock screams, "Time is running out"
I always say I tried to live in the present
But the future's about to slap me in the face

So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too

It's like I've come to the end of a good book
I can't bring myself to finish the last few pages
Cause once I read them, the story is over
And something's missing from my life

So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too

I fear regret
I don't want the what ifs looming
My ghost from the past haunting the future me
So if you're willing to stand by me through it all
I'm not saying goodbye to you
My friendships will dwindle as we go our ways
There will be an emptiness I feel as they leave
If you'll trust me, the job will then be yours to sew together the gaps

So can you please take my hand and promise you won't let go?
I'm afraid of what lies ahead
I can't do this alone
And believe me when I say I'll never stop loving you
Because darling, I'm scared of the future too
