Lovely, Dark and Deep

I won't talk if you don't talk
Who can speak at a time like this?
Filled with grief and restlessness
Don't tell me how to react
After I heard I've lost a friend
There's no right way to deal with this

Two lovers lay
Side by side and face to face
One last embrace
Is this really happening?

I can't forget the day George called and told me what happened
My voice grew weak, my knees hit the floor
When I felt your presence leave
I could tell you, but you wouldn't believe me
I saw her face in the popcorn ceiling
I was breathing out her name
After I swore that no one hurt me when I prayed

We want so badly to believe that loss
Is worth all of the memories
I'll keep you close enough to me
With roots sewn deeply
Forever still a part of me

When we die they say we'll be with God
Turn to smoke and float above
Is it just a story we tell ourselves
To keep our demons tightly bound
When we die they say we'll be with God
Turn to smoke and float above
Is it just a story we tell ourselves
To keep our demons tightly bound

We want so badly to believe that loss
Is worth all of the memories
I'll keep you close enough to me
With roots sewn deeply
Forever still a part of me
A part of me

I won't talk if you don't talk
Who can speak at a time like this?
Filled with grief and restlessness (restlessness)
I won't talk if you don't talk
I don't know who speaks at a time like this
Filled with grief and restlessness

When I get drunk I start to think about God
Why we're all here and how we all fucked it up
Such a fragile life we lead
When I'm with God I like to think about you
Where you are now and what happened to you
What a fucked up place you left
