Quietly Now

Could you ever imagine how the days inched by
While you're lying beneath my feet?

I wrapped my hands around the postcards that you sent
And all your little gifts

Well I've never believed in dreams
but it's the only place that you're still here with me

To have you in my reach
And to feel you again is my only last wish

And I still cry your name,
Over and over and over and over.
"My darling, your life was sweet,"
I'd tell that to myself, time and again and again

But no, I'm still that fool
I'm grasping tight,
Holding to all that is left
I wish that you could hear me speak
So I'll keep holding on,
Holding till there's nothing left

I can't sleep because the pain has sunk into my skin
It's come to show that maybe nothing is my everything
I can't sleep because you linger and still haunt my dreams
It's come to show that maybe nothing is my everything

Every move I've ever took some to ponder and to make
is now a sandbag which will hamper paths that I may choose to take.
But if I never tried, well someday it might all just be too late.
Remorse is something that I will never feel upon my deathbed
(Remorse is something I won't feel)

I said I'm sorry but then again, what are these words worth?
I clasp my hands in prayer, knowing that I will never be heard

Take me to the brink and watch me fall
Take me to the brink and let me reassess

Take me to the brink and watch me fall
Take me to the brink and let me reassess this
