Verse 1 What if I denied That there was nothing wrong at all Would you then believe me? Or would you doubt me all the more? Precious words are wasted In attempts to justify But when no words are needed There's nothing left to do but cry There's nothing left to do but cry...

Verse 2 Let us start with morning And let us end with night You know I'm trying day by day To get my story right But once again I'm much too late My timing has let me down I know I'm not the perfect man But it's hard for me to know you're not around It's hard for me to know you're not around...

Verse 3 I reach out for the remnants Of the shape you used to be I hear you in the silence That always follow me I now accept the reasons There was never any plan Some things are here for a moment Then disappear before we understand Then disappear before we understand...
