lyrics

It's not like tomorrow is unlike today
From what you said, from what you will say
With my mouth parted, the tears still escape
And your reach is far too shallow to make me stay

The force of your words surrounds me like a weight
And on my chest it bares so heavy, honestly
With guilt written clear across your face
You can’t simply brush the words away

“It’s said, the only way to truly know someone is to give yourself over completely, honestly.
Without that, you simply cannot connect on the most basic level.”

These walls you built to keep you safe
But all they did was push me away
I stood by you, decided to wait
I hope that time would tell,
tell me the words
that I needed to say to you

Your words lose meaning here, lost inside your head
like the light that casts the shadows that creep across your bed
You’ve never held me in your heart, that I am sure.
so I leave you now, not looking back at what you were

“This leaves you vulnerable, to be abused. Either intentional or not. Once the trust is broken, it can be impossible to overcome, or to give yourself over to another.

These walls you built to keep you safe (I’m worth more than this)
But all they did was push me away (what more can you say)
I stood by you, decided to wait
I hope that time would tell,
tell me the words,
that I needed to say to you
