lyrics

I'm sure my face was flushed, as the roses in my cheeks reached full bloom
I could not stand the heat, as your fiery speech filled the room
You asked me for things that I simply could not give
You asked for promises you knew I could not keep
So why did you look surprised at the teardrops in your eyes
As you began to weep?

Harsh words must still be said, please don't ask me why
But nothing says I love you like goodbye

I clicked my fingernails, fumbling for the words I knew weren't there
I fought for every breath from the weight of the hurt in the air
You claimed what was always mine to keep for your own
You knew you'd held on too tight
Now you've drained all the sand between the cracks of your hand
As your knuckles turn to white

Harsh words must still be said, please don't ask me why
But nothing says I love you like goodbye

Now we're left with the dust settled round our feet of what's no more
So sorrow do your work, sew up these wounds left gaping from the war
Don't think for a moment I never gave all I had
You know too well we've run out of time
No battles won nor lost, without a wage or a cost
And you dear were mine

Harsh words must still be said, please don't ask me why
But nothing says I love you like goodbye

The sparse intimacy of these sonic landscapes invite you to come in and stay awhile, and hear stories of faith and friendship that just might remind you of your own. ... more
