To tell you the truth.
To burden your mouth for what you say.
No pieces of paper in the way.
'Cause I can't continue.
Pretending to choose.
These opposite sides on which we fall.
The loving you laters, if at all.
No right minds could wrong be, this many times.
My memory is cruel.
I'm queen of attention to details.
Defending intentions if he fails.
Until now, he told me her name.
It sounded familiar in a way.
I could of sworn I heard him say it ten thousand times...
oh, if only I had been listening.
Leave unsaid, unspoken.
Eyes wide shut, unopened.
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed.
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall.
Stand in the center of it all.
Too late, two choices, to stay or to leave.
Mine was so easy to uncover.
He'd already left with the other.
So I learned to listen through silence.
Leave unsaid, unspoken.
Eyes wide shut, unopened.
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say.
I talk until the conversation doesn't stay on.
Wait for me, I'm almost ready when he meant let go.
Leave unsaid, unspoken.
Eyes wide shut, unopened.
She's a gem. I love her. Great, great song.
