| It kills me not to know this but I've all but just forgotten
|
| What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
|
| As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
|
| Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
|
| There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
|
| And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
|
| But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
|
| Walls that we just can't break through until we disappear
|
| So tell me now
|
| If this ain't love then how do we get out?
|
| 'Cause I don't know
|
| That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy.
|
| I just want to save you while there's still something left to save."
|
| That's when I told her, "I love you, girl,
|
| But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have."
|
| And the day pressed on like crushing weights
|
| For no man does it ever wait
|
| Like memories of dying days
|
| That deafen us like hurricanes
|
| Bathed in flames we held the brand
|
| Uncurled the fingers in your hand
|
| Pressed into the flesh like sand
|
| Now do you understand?
|
| So tell me now
|
| If this ain't love then how do we get out?
|
| 'Cause I don't know
|
| That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy,
|
| I just want to save you while there's still something left to save"
|
| That's when I told her "I love you, girl,
|
| But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"
|
| One thousand miles away
|
| There's nothing left to say
|
| But so much left that I don't know
|
| We never had a choice
|
| This world has too much noise
|
| It takes me under
|
| It takes me under once again
|
| I don't hate you
|
| I don't hate you, no
|
| So tell me now
|
| If this ain't love then how do we get out?
|
| 'Cause I don't know
|
| That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy,
|
| I just want to save you while there's still something left to save"
|
| That's when I told her "I love you, girl,
|
| But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have"
|
| I don't hate you
|
| I don't hate you
|
| I don't hate you
|
| I don't hate you, no |
