Do you know how much that I love you?
Cause I do
But I can't recall when I last let you know
Around the fire in my throat
With each despair that I'm verbose
My reticence has found a home

What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
When that's what they need to hear?
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them?
Cause I love them

When it matters most
I don't feel like I'm prеsent
I can understand your pain
But still I'm sorry if you feel like I'm not around
(I swеar I try to be but)
I'm sorry if you feel like I'm not around
(It hurts in ways I can't explain)

What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
When that's what they need to hear?
Coveted verbosity is without worth if I'm replete
With nothing more than shame
When I should be imbued with rage
I pray that the impression
That I've made upon the Earth
Will be suffice to eulogise when I'm no longer here
But if it's not my only hope
Is that those that I'm survived by
Know that I've always loved them
More than I've been able to show

What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
When that's what they need to hear?
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
