How many times have you
And how many times I'd been on my knees
Begging, begging please

How many times have I been here

How many times was I lost

And how many times I'd be lost in the sea

If you weren't there to rescue me

[Ref]:

We're sailing, sailing every night

We're drifting, drifting alone apart

Not to show that we're in need

But I'd heal your wounds if you bleed

How many times have I hurt you

How many times have you

And how many times I'd been on my knees

Begging, begging please

Em D C Em D C

forgive me

[Refrén]

And I couldn't see how you're trying for me.
