Your face flutters in my mind,

My heart chokes

I've been having trouble lately

waking up

You're looking more like a stranger

but I still feel I know you just the same

All the words you said

keep running through my brain

Why don't you hear your name

When I'm calling to you?

Why don't you look like yourself

When I see you?

It's a wonder why I'm trying so hard

To keep this image of you that I've loved so long

Here, and

I've been around now, longer than I

care to tell you in three words

you can't hear

I've been waiting for resolution longer than I

care to tell you in three words

you can't hear me

Why you can't hear me?

You said God decides my fate,

It's not my choice anymore

Well was that God or was it you that just

shut the door?

That leads to your heart?

That leads to your heart?

You don't hear your name

When I'm calling to you

You don't look like yourself

When I see you.

Makes me wonder if it's the trying so hard

That keep me from seeing things as they really are, and

I've been around now, longer than I

care to tell you in three words

you can't hear, and

I've been waiting for resolution longer than I

Care to tell you in three words.

You can't hear me

Why you can't hear me?

Maybe you never even touched me

in the place that I thought you did

'Cause the scars of our battle

Are fading from my finer skin

But I remember your twisted brow

And how you said to me ten years from now

This will just be a long way down

Well just a long way down

Well just a long way down

Well just a long way down
