I said it out loud the other night
But nothing changed
“I’ve never wanted anything more”
As if you would appear and grab my hand
And let me cry with my face pressed into your stomach
I said it all the other day
Not holding back a thing
As if you would hear me shouting across the bar
“I loved you the most”
Wondering how many nights you had done the same when I wasn’t there
Released all my burdens just to find the greatest of them all still there
I healed only to break again underneath my great love’s weight
Precious pain that has no end until we meet again and again and again
She makes me wait
Or do I make her wait?
I don’t think we know anymore
Two hearts so intertwined and so far apart at the same time
Only fools could fall this hard
Only lions could hold on this long
Lonely and stubborn we roam
Telling ourselves we are lost alone
And telling each other we are fine
I said it all to the sun, the moon, the earth and anyone who would listen
“You hold the key to my heart”
As if you would unleash it from her bed
Maybe words are cheap after all
For what purpose could they serve if they can’t win your heart?
