It kills me not to know this
But I've all but just forgotten
What the colour of her eyes were
And her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down
A single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face
That this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation
That will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
To drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true
When I'm constantly failing you
Walls that we just can't break through
Until we disappear
So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?
So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
One thousand miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
So tell me now
If this ain't love then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
That's when she said
"I don't hate you boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
