I know that we're in trouble here

And that people had their doubts

They say that everyone, everywhere deserves someone, dear

But I just have no faith in that

So I will bandage your wounds

I'll cover your hurt

Take back what I said

Things you did not deserve

But now three days later

And I've still had no word

No message or warning

Of things you have learned



Days turn to weeks

And I forget your face

I'm sorry, my love

I lie here disgraced

So I'll do this for you

I need you to feel it

It will hurt but it will heal

How I wish you'd believe it

Don't say goodbye

There's just no good to it

This space in my chest

I have nothing to fill it

And the feeling of sinking goes on

It goes on

Until I reach your shore

There is nowhere I'd rather belong



As we sat there on the bench at night

Talking about our lives under street light

You sat there you smiled

No we'll never, we'll never grow old

But the past is the past and I learned from the last

Time that we were close I'm now on my own

And you'll sit there, you'll smile

And think about the time that I called you mine

You were mine



Well it seems there is nothing I can do

No there is nothing I can do

Reaching out to touch it

So desperate just to clutch it

My knuckles turn to white

And my blood begins to run to the floor



So where is your compassion dear?

Do you have to hide it away?

Is there nothing you have trapped deep inside?

Like a bird in a cage

So desperate for you to set free

Now I'm starting to wonder here

If your heart is so small

That if we kept on going in circles

It would shrink and it would fade

Until there was nothing

No heart at all
