Your face flutters in my mind,
My heart chokes
I've been having trouble lately
waking up
You're looking more like a stranger
but I still feel I know you just the same
All the words you said
keep running through my brain
Why don't you hear your name
When I'm calling to you?
Why don't you look like yourself
When I see you?
It's a wonder why I'm trying so hard
To keep this image of you that I've loved so long
Here, and
I've been around now, longer than I
care to tell you in three words
you can't hear
I've been waiting for resolution longer than I
care to tell you in three words
you can't hear me
Why you can't hear me?
You said God decides my fate,
It's not my choice anymore
Well was that God or was it you that just
shut the door?
That leads to your heart?
That leads to your heart?
You don't hear your name
When I'm calling to you
You don't look like yourself
When I see you.
Makes me wonder if it's the trying so hard
That keep me from seeing things as they really are, and
I've been around now, longer than I
care to tell you in three words
you can't hear, and
I've been waiting for resolution longer than I
Care to tell you in three words.
You can't hear me
Why you can't hear me?
Maybe you never even touched me
in the place that I thought you did
'Cause the scars of our battle
Are fading from my finer skin
But I remember your twisted brow
And how you said to me ten years from now
This will just be a long way down
Well just a long way down
Well just a long way down
Well just a long way down
[snappy guitar ending]
