Lyrics

I’ve been wonderin’ lately
bout the road my heart is taking
all I hear inside me
is the sound of crystal breaking
don’t you blame me for everything
no one can say if love’s here to stay
don’t you blame me for everything
how does it show, say how do we know
the things we outgrow?

and then he comes to me
with eyes like a child
how can I hurt him now
and then he comes to me
with eyes like a child
I’ll tell him the truth some other time
somewhere, somehow
can’t break his world just now
with eyes like a child

lies don’t hold forever,
someday your heart will be broken
words that shatter your daydreams
can’t forever be unspoken
I don’t feel much of anything
even the skin is cold to my touch
I don’t feel much of anything
can’t tell you why this river ran dry
got no tears to cry

and then he comes to me
with eyes like a child
how can I hurt him now
and then he comes to me
with eyes like a child
I’ll tell him the truth some other time
somewhere, somehow
can’t break his world just now
with eyes like a child

it is easier pretending my heart’s still beating to the music playing
a book without an ending, leaving the outcome open without saying
loving you has lost its magic, it’s time to let it go
