So you're telling me now it's all wrong, my love That the memory's end is foregone and done Still we walk for miles in my head To the blue dawn

The truth is, I can't forget you All this time, it's been so long Part of me knows I'm meant to Draw a line and carry on But if you would only come back I can say, I can say I was never alone Walking the silver beaches far from home

Somehow I need no rest No alibi for where I'm going

And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there Or have somebody's goodnight kisses got that covered? When I'm not being honest, I pretend that you were just some lover

Now I can't think of there without thinking of you I doubt that comes as a surprise And I can't think of anything to dream about I can't find anywhere to hide And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes And I convince myself I need another For a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover

I've fought so long, it's what I do My fists are fine, it's just my soul's a little bruised But I'll stay on my feet until I lose But I never learned to lose

My younger years went by so urgently And left me grief that I'm still servicing If good times change, why do the bad days stick around?

So now you see me For the first time It's hard to love in the cold But boy, it's time I tried

It's always late at night when these thoughts seem to culminate They almost make sense in my dream-like state The words are so loud, they're so loud in my brain They scream "If I loved you less, I'd be okay"

As I walk away, I curse the whole universe For not splitting love in perfect halves so we're equally hurt

I know who I am and it's okay I'll love you as I walk away I'll know who you are and I pray you'll find that person someday

Never once an ocean could hold me on its shore Standing calm with all its motion, with all the movement of its flow 'Cause I know way back in the distance all the safer sorrows burned The ones with no intent to drown you The ones where nothing's to be learned

So now I'm heading down a back road The one that no one really takes Except for me now to be nowhere When that early morning breaks

Oh god, I thought I heard the angels What kind of fool'd you put in me?
