I opened my eyes and cringed at what I saw.
We've wasted our lives and cannot love anymore.
I know you're afraid-- I know the future is unsure.
Our hands have been played, and we're both at a loss for words.
I've seen the signs-- the writing has become the wall.
I cannot open my eyes. I cannot face them all.
Contradictions collide-- sympathies extend no further.
Concealments collapse. As cold as it is, we're getting warmer.
You're just talking in reverse.
And here I am, still waiting
and wondering if I can
begin to know the lengths to which you've gone
to take me beyond what I knew.
Here I am, still struggling
and hoping that you'll turn to see
the rest of what we always said
we'd do to keep from drifting apart.
I've sewn up my mouth. I've taped over both my ears.
The world has grown in between us and covered over all our years.
All the silence and sin-- we've no seas left to sail.
We've nothing more to say when the hours die and signals fail.
You're just talking in reverse.
Our fear of love is getting worse.
