Something To Write Home About

And I know that we're in trouble here

And that people had their doubts

They say that everyone

Everywhere deserves someone dear

But I just have no faith in that

So I will bandage your wounds

I'll cover your hurt

Take back what I said

Things you did not deserve

But now three days later

And I've still had no word

No message or warning

Of things you have learned

Days turn to weeks

And I forget your face

I'm sorry my love

I lie here disgraced

So I'll do this for you

I need you to feel it

It will hurt but it will heal

How I wish you'd believe it

Don't say goodbye

There's just no good to it

This space in my chest

I have nothing to fill it

And the feeling of sinking goes on

It goes on

Until I reach your shore

There is nowhere I'd rather belong

And I remember it andrew

That story you told

Those words still ring inside my head

No they never, they never got old

I should tell you that the feeling never left me

When you showed me your scars

And we talked about the night you nearly died

I could see there was an absence of God

From the look in your eyes

Well it seems there is nothing I can do

No there is nothing I can do

Reaching out to touch it

So desperate just to clutch it

My knuckles turn to white

And my blood begins to run to the floor

So where is your compassion dear?

Do you have to hide it away?

Is there nothing you have trapped deep inside?

Like a bird in a cage

So desperate for you to set free

Now I'm starting to wonder here

If your heart is so small

That if we kept on going in circles

It would shrink and it would fade

Until there was nothing

No heart at all
