I think I've asked you this before
Yet never can I get a straight answer
You skip, you hide, you dodge
And suddenly it's over.
I ask you again.
Why did you do it
You give me that sullen look in your eye
And say it was nothing
Showmanship, a publicity stunt
A parade of vanity for pride's sake
You can see everything yet you choose to shut your eyes
You can hear it all, and yet somehow you cry
You tell me your alone
When I am right here
You say that it doesn't count
And rule your own testimony inadmissable
You owned, therefore you lost
You say no one wants to listen
And so excuse yourself from speaking
And in your silence, do you find peace?
Or is it just silence, without reason
Of logic and lust
Fame and villainy
A heartbreak served with a kiss
You took the blows
Yet you never dealt one
You took one through the heart
And a thousand through the head
A vicious litany to charm away the dark
Repugnant rationality echoing within your soul
You were everything when there was nothing
And yet you still struggle to find your way
The strong fall, the mighty will fade
But you never told me why you fell for them all
You never told me if it hurt
And worse, you never told me why you cried
You never told me it was ok
That you left for me to figure out
I can't look you in the eye, I would melt or fade away
I can't stand up for fear I fall
I can only lean close and sing to a god
