Before We Disappear by Chris Cornell Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Time ain’t nothing if it ain’t fast
Taking everything that you ever had
And giving nothing in return
But a cold bed in the quiet earth

[Pre-Chorus]
If there's a door to every cell
A pearl inside of every shell, then

[Chorus]
How hard can it be to share your life with me?
How hard can it be to rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time will hide the years

[Verse 2]
Life ain’t nothing if it ain’t hard
It’ll show you who you truly are
Knock you down when you get too tall
Till you're spun around in a free fall
[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart

[Chorus]
So how hard can it be to share your life with me?
How hard can it be to rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live for ever
But I fear that time can hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear

[Bridge]
I'm not one to waste my time
Searching for some silver lining
Somewhere out there past the storm
Lies the shelter of your heart

[Chorus]
So how hard can it be (how hard) to share your life with me?
How hard can it be to rise with me each morning?
I know that it feels like we will live forever
But I fear that time can hide the years
Like we were never here
So hold on tightly, my dear
[Outro]
Before we disappear
Before we disappear
