We Gave It All
We Gave It All
Lately you've been
quiet, cold,
Storms behind
the eyes you hold.
Memories tell us
to stay:
"Let it be,
don't walk away."
If you stay
or if you leave,
Nothing promised,
we believed.
Words like "always"
weren't true;
Promises can
fail us too.
Do you want
the dreams erased?
If you go,
I won't resist.
Every road
you choose to run
Carries me
in every one.
I won't stand
before your way;
Go to where
your thoughts will stay.
You're the one
who taught me then
How to lose
and call it "when."
Now our words
destroy and hide,
Only ghosts
of love reside.
In the shape
we're living through,
Separation
feels like truth.
Now our words
destroy and hide,
Only ghosts
of love reside.
In the shape
we're living through,
Separation
feels like truth.
I won't cage
the air you need;
Distance helps
your heart to beat.
Love can fade
and love can fall;
Everything returns
to fall.
Lately every word
is sharp,
Cuts the light
and breaks the heart.
If you broke
my chest to see,
There'd be nothing
left of me.
Reason gone,
and madness near,
Flowing strong
instead of fear.
In the silence
of our breath,
We remain
in what is left.
Paper waiting,
pen in place,
Just a name
to end this space.
Sign it now,
don't tempt the wait;
Maybe leaving's
part of fate.
Now our words
destroy and hide,
Only ghosts
of love reside.
In the shape
we're living through,
Separation
feels like truth.
Now our words
destroy and hide,
Only ghosts
of love reside.
In the shape
we're living through,
Separation
feels like truth.
Or maybe
this isn't real,
Just a dream
I cannot feel.
Maybe I'm still
lying there,
Body quiet…
mind aware.
