Yes I know
you're hurting inside
I watched the pain steal your breath
your smile fading against the void
your bright eyes losing luster

and I asked myself
what was I to do?
to mend the pain
I have all those words
but I am not brave enough
to tell you things perhaps you never heard

I am not the only one to care
I am not the only one thinking bout you
and I asked myself
what was I to do?

Time slipped away in a blink
but I'm still asking myself
if I could do any better
if thoughts could wash away sins

I walked the road unseen
memories like a lifetime ago
I don't fear this I don't
not those days past
you were okay and
I couldn't ask much better

I been waiting for a answer
don't suppose I'll find it
till I come to the edge of silence
words teeter on a forbidden cliff
I'm still searching bravado before it slips
promise I'll say it
