Live Without

you don't tell me we don't talk no more

feels like a lifetime on an endless chore,

I had it coming, I could tell by the guilt that she wore,

if there were noises in the night coming from my door,

he wont be knocking til that sounds no more.

we had a chance and a plan to restore.

you scraped his body down to it's core

you had me hearing voices that were loud as a war

you were the face that would come tumbling down with it all

we took a corner round an unknown ridge

a conversation by the unused bridge

he had no face at all

I had to dig a hole or swim

and now I just won't fight

I ain't gonna battle no more

I have tried to weather that storm

now it's calm and it's clear and it's never gone

did you ever have a moment of doubt?

I'm living here alone and this is still it's a crowd

I'll never work you out

but how can I forgive, now I have to live without

I was looking back at every face in the street

screaming at the shadow with a howl of defeat

I admit I have some troubles keeping my feelings discrete

now this memory that I keep well it's not one I've show

creeps like a fever and it bleeds on it's own

and what has died in it's sleep is better if it's left alone

and now I just won't fight

I ain't gonna battle no more

and now I just won't fight

I ain't gonna battle no more

I have tried to weather that storm

now it's calm and it's clear and it's never gone
