Nineveh

it's so hard for me to tell you how i feel

and i can never say exactly what i mean

you are my nineveh and i've been jonah from the start

and i can't let you make the same mistakes i've made

if for a moment i could overcome my fear

i wouldn't have to hide behind this fiction wall

sometimes i wonder how i call myself your friend

a failure to myself. a failure to him. what if i told you

would you reach for him after all. would you fall down to your knees

would you walk away from it all. would you fall down at his feet

and i watch you live in months between the sun

i can't help but feel that i wanted more than this

and still i smile inside and know it's not the end

because the light of hope is brighter than this wall of silence
