Safe, Sound
I forget, tell me again,
What do you want?
You'll be close, not close enough,
Not close enough for my kind of heart.
You say words you can't take back,
Used to be love,
Now it's words that are hard to look at,
Hard to look at with the lights on.
In your head it must not sound so bad,
Or why would you say it?
When you know I feel it,
Whistles through my bones.
Alone in a love,
The one that we started,
The one that you hurt with some words.
Why'd I start before you said,
"I checked it out, it's safe and sound".
Like I showed you right away,
All the things that eyes can say.
Where you are it must not look so bad,
Or why would you do it?
When you know I feel it,
And my eyes are not afraid to cry their way through all you say.
I know that what we started,
I think that we ended.
What do you want?
You'll be close, not close enough,
Not close enough for my kind of heart.
You say words you can't take back,
Used to be love,
Now it's words that are hard to look at,
Hard to look at with the lights on.
In your head it must not sound so bad,
Or why would you say it?
When you know I feel it,
Whistles through my bones.
Alone in a love,
The one that we started,
The one that you hurt with some words.
Why'd I start before you said,
"I checked it out, it's safe and sound".
Like I showed you right away,
All the things that eyes can say.
Where you are it must not look so bad,
Or why would you do it?
When you know I feel it,
And my eyes are not afraid to cry their way through all you say.
I know that what we started,
I think that we ended.
