FALTER

can we save these words
for another day
I get so tired of spewing back
everything you say

could we apologize
without someone to blame
you know as well as I do
we can't go on the same

don't go
don't leave it here this way
don't go
marred with all these stains
battered, bruised and sprawling out
in crimson sheets we lay
don't go

could it be over now
as time leaves our hands
the bliss was felt from lack of knowing
we've turned and run down the sands

can we save these tears
for when you go away
it's just no use continuing
this pitiful display

so go
leave it all behind
just go
please get out of my mind
the fall hurts now but you'll soon find out
why I wait inside and hide from the rain
watching you there as it pours so hard
cowardice haunts us now
it rips at the skin, beating you down
leaving your life so flawed
so you kneel and beg and hope and want
and sob and scream out for home

so you kneel and beg and hope and want
and sob and scream out for home
you're kneeling, begging, hoping, wanting
sobbing and screaming for more
so go
