You Don't Mean That

You hold his hand as he wastes away, but nothing is said
You watch his life drift away, but nothing is said
And you're memories should be better, but nothing is said
And he didn't know how to love you,
but nothing is said, nothing was said

You can leave behind family, you can leave behind friends
You can leave behind regrets, that won't ever end
You can leave behind ghosts, you can leave behind the past
You can leave behind anger, that never lasts

You always say what you mean, you're always measured and fair,
You're always careful with thoughts, that you choose to share
You always say what you mean, but that's just an act
You always say what you mean, but you don't mean that

He claims he is working late, but nothing is said
And the children know something is wrong, but nothing is said
And you're memories should be better, but nothing is said
And he doesn't know how to love you,
but nothing is said, nothing was said

You can leave behind faith, you can leave behind the past
You can leave behind anger, that never lasts
You can leave behind the struggle, you can leave behind the pain

You always say what you mean, you are not soft or frail
You favor, logic to drama, you let reason prevail
You always say what you mean, but that's just an act
You always say what you mean, but you don't mean that

You can leave behind faith, you can leave behind the past
You can leave behind anger, that never lasts
You can leave behind family, you can leave behind friends
You can leave behind regrets, that won't ever end

You always say what you mean, you weigh fiction with fact
You always say what you mean, but you're holding back
You always say what you mean, but you don't mean that
