Nothing Left

Well, there is nothing left
But what's been said
I promise you, it's in my head
I've gone away
I can offer you some
Subtle praise, a parting gift
A turn of phrase
I've gone away
I've still gone away

But then I told you that there is no time
No time to tell you
Where the money went
No time for wishing
For a gentle dream
Can I run my fingers through your hair?
But now there's time
Time to remember all the innocence
Or was that a memory that I never lived?
What is a memory without you?

And you'll never know
What's in my head
I'll fight it to the death
And then I'll go away
Sinful songs are sung
Without your voice
A crime to choose
When there's no choice
I've gone away
I've still gone away

Then I told you that I am too slow
To pick up on this desperation
No one knows, look me in the eyes
'Cause I've got hope that I'll remember
And I won't stow it away
Let's go back
Back into the distant past
Where no one knows,
No one knows about a single thing we did
No one even knows that we were here

When I woke up, I was spitting gravel
Never told you 'cause I know how secrets travel
If the words don't leave my mouth
Then you'll never have to know
But I'll still call, I'm not the one
Who hung you out to dry
Made you think it's normal
Just to live this way
Made you think it's
Always been your fault
