Lyrics No Words - Make Do And Mend

No Words

I’ve been following the steam trail of her breath
On these winter streets, running from an early death
And she’s everything I need, want, and can’t have
She’s the foreign life I’ve desperately been clawing at
I’m clawing at
Countless time upon countless time
Her blank stare connects with mine
Panic sets in and I avert my eyes
She couldn’t love what she doesn’t know
I’m just the stranger who can’t let go
Of the thing that I want most in this whole world
I used to disregard regret
But there are some things that I can’t forget
I’d ignore my shame but it’s been pounding in my head
Sometimes the emptiness pervades
In this lonely room’s skeletal embrace
With no love in my life
These days are getting harder and harder to face
I’m slipping further and further away
These are the things at night I prayed I’d never feel
The untamable sadness life too often deals
So give me a sign, show me that love
Isn’t the cold dead hand of winter creeping up
It’s creeping up, it’s creeping up, it’s creeping
And these are the things at night I prayed I’d never feel
The untamable sadness life too often deals
So give me a sign, show me that love
Isn’t the cold dead hand of winter creeping up
These are the things at night I prayed I’d never feel
The untamable sadness life too often deals
So give me a sign, show me that love
Isn’t the cold dead hand of winter creeping up
It’s creeping up, it’s creeping up, it’s creeping
