Desolate

"The truth is hiding in your eyes

And it's hanging on your tongue

Just boiling in my blood

But you think that I can't see

What kind of man that you are

If you're a man at all

"Illusion never changed

Into something real

I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn

You're a little late

"I could follow you to the beginning

Just to relive the start

Maybe then we'd remember to slow down

"I wish that I could see you again

"Well, I couldn't tell you

Why she felt that way

She felt it every day

And I couldn't help her

I just watched her make

"I knew you in another life

You had that same look in your eyes

"Oh, it's so hard to have someone to love

And keeping quiet is hard

Cause' you can't keep a secret

If it never was a secret to start

"Now and then, I think of all the times you screwed me over

"Can't you see there's no other man above you?

"So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me

No, I won't rescue you to just desert me

"You had my heart inside of your hand

"Tellin' myself it's the last time

Can you spare any mercy that you might find

If I'm down on my knees again?

Deep down, way down, Lord, I try

Try to follow your light, but it's night time
