25

They say we don't remember days
It's the moments that we recall
For me it's the silences that seem to erode, erode, erode…
I guess you didn't know what to say back then
Has turned to now
And I'm still
Yeah, I'm still... I'm still wondering how I fit in
What part have I played in your life?
You were unhappy with the cards you've been dealt
You can fold anytime
And try, and try one more time just
To say
To shape the silences
We never could seem to connect
futile pursuit was evident
With our different objectives, interests and ways
Ways of doing
But in every leaf is a pattern of the tree
In turn that must mean there's a history
A history
Of you in me wrapped up in me
What part have I played in your life
You were unhappy with the card you've been dealt
But you can fold that hand with your pride
And try, try one more time for my sake
I know you were younger then, and maybe naïve
making excuses is not on our side
'Cause I don't even know how to say "love"
It's like walking for the very first time
We will never know the damage we've done
The price we have paid
For the silence
For the silence
In this lifetime
In this lifetime
I'm halfway through mine
