Your words could have held the ground up under my feet
Although I can't recall the purpose, each one still stings
Thinking back on things now filled with regret
I wish we shared more time, something we'll never get back

Listened
Patiently

Listened patiently but denial's never kind
Escaping what's believed; starting to realize
Instrumental in the shaping of a young mind
Taught me everything, something you think I'd recognize

But your words still strike a chord
Each one more important

Your words mean
All I've got
Each one more important
Each one more important than the last
Each one still strikes a chord
Each one still strikes a chord
It's all I've got
Each one more important
Each one more important than the last
Each one still strikes a chord
Deep inside my heart
They're all I've got
Each one more important
More important than the last

Your words still sting
Some strike a chord
Your words still sting
Some strike a chord

All I've got, each one more important
(Only here and now
Only here and now
Only here and now
Only here and now)
All I've got, each one more important
(The past creates a
Camouflage to cover
My wounded eyes
Mistrust mistaken)
All I've got, each one more important
(I'm apathetic
I'm apathetic
I'm apathetic
I'm apathetic, only)
All I've got, each one more important
(Only here and now
Only here and now
The past takes a little time
To pacify satifaction)
