No Simple Explanations

I can offer you no simple explanations

and I've given every answer that I know

it's that kind of complicated situation

where the truth is not enough to make us whole

there's a distance that can grow inside the darkness

there's a darkness that can grow inside our souls

as we move from so much love to so much heartlessness

and we come to live in fear of what we know

but I did not want to hurt you, I did not want to say

that I could no longer love you that way

with my heart and sould in tow, I told you I must go

then I left you there

there's a method to the madness you've been watching

as you analyze each step I take away

there's a knowledge that runs deep beneath the talking

and her waters will flow clear and cool one day

as we feel the anger shift and change its meaning

we can feel the pain come clean and slip away

we can see the mark of guilt is slowly fading

may we look into each other's eyes one day

'cause I did not want to hurt you, I did not want to say

that I could no longer love you that way

and with your heart and soul in tow, you had to let me go

and I left you there

I can offer you no simple explanations

and I've given every answer I can see

it's that kind of complicated situation

where the truth is not enough to set us free
