|
I've spent too much of my life defending my past. |
|
Can't find power in truth when it never lasts. |
|
Never said I was a hero, just that I'd been miscast. |
|
Throughout all of the stress of being accused. |
|
My defenses replaced the love that we knew. |
|
I never got the chance just to miss you. |
|
I'd go through it again. I would embrace the pain |
|
If it gave me the chance for just one more glance |
|
Of you in my arms to hold in my dreams. |
|
It's too hard to ever let you go. |
|
I may be alone now but I'll always know |
|
That you'll never be gone just as long as I keep hold |
|
Of the memories we made when we were in love. |
|
I'd give into the lie to keep your memory alive. |
|
I know trying to forget you was my only crime. |
|
I never wanted to be right I just wanted to say goodbye. |
|
So take my sight - she's the wind in my hair. |
|
And then take my touch - I know that she's still there, |
|
In the songs of the birds just as long as they're words, |
|
I remember her taste in the sun on my face. |
|
So strip me away - I don't want to be real. |
|
I want to float through this peace that I feel. |
|
The memories stay like a seed in the rain. |
|
I'll nurture our love and live through it again. |
|
She's alive in my head so I'll live there instead |
|
And remember our love. |
|
"Do all words can do, David I still love you. |
|
I want you to grow but never let me go. |
|
I'll be a seed in your heart, |
|
I'll be with you when you start, |
|
To turn and hum again, |
|
I'll be a part of your love. |
|
Your life will sprout like a tree |
|
And all the leaves will be me |
|
And all the fruit will glow just to let you know |
|
That I loved you the best, now I can rest." |
|
I felt your hair on my chest as your heart came to rest, |
|
It's tempo tied to the spin of the world I lived in. |
|
Maybe I won't say goodbye, pretend you never died. |
|
But I couldn't live in a world I didn't forgive. |
|
You know if I could, I'd carve myself out of wood, |
|
Paint over my scars and wish upon a star. |
|
I watched that sun as it drowned and rise again from the ground, |
|
In its perennial grace I see your shining face. |
|
Now that you've gone away, I can finally say |
|
That if you were here today I'd love you the same way. |
|
It's all happened before and it will happen again, |
|
When you realize the end is the same place you began. |
|
I rest my case on my heart, I'm sick of playing the part. |
|
I don't want to be right, I just want one more night. |
|
I don't want to be right, I just want one more night. |
|
I don't want to be right, I just want one more night. |
|
I don't want to be right, I just want one more night. |
|
I don't want to be right, I just want one more night. |
|
I don't want to be right, I just want one more night. |
