"The Ones You Love" lyrics

Hurting and healing
One deep breath at a time
Oh, I'm still grateful
And grieving
Lying awake when I close my eyes
'Cause I'm still here
Feeling a complex of emotions
While I'm hurting and healing at the same time

So if I hold you for too long
Every time that we wake up
It's because I know the hurt
Of not holding on enough

And you don't get to choose how long you have
With the ones you love
No, the sun will rise, and the sun will set
It's never been up to us
And you can't turn back time if you decide
It's not enough
No, the only choice you really have
Is how to love the ones you love
Is to love the ones you love

The moments that matter
Are the ones just like the one we're in
When you look back after
It's where that's where your life begins
More questions than answers
The next team or the time stands still
And that's all that matters to me now

'Cause you don't get to choose how long you have
With the ones you love
No, the sun will rise, and the sun will set
It's never been up to us
And you can't turn back time if you decide
It's not enough
No, the only choice you really have, yeah
Is how to love the ones you love
So love the ones you love

If I hold you for too long
Every time that we wake up
It's because I know the hurt
Of not holding on enough
If I say I love you twice
And I say I love you more
It's because I know the hurt
Of not saying it before

You don't get to choose how long you have
With the ones you love
No, the sun will rise, and the sun will set
It's never been up to us
And you can't turn back time if you decide
It's not enough
No, the only choice you really have
Is how to love the ones you love

So love the ones you love
Yeah, love the ones you love
Love the ones you love
