this to say the things too hard to say
you know my way
it's just my way

restless, tense, and shifting in my seat
changing times fight bottom lines fight dreams
and darlin' you won't hear my voice tonight
even that is held just out of reach

i know... no one sees us making this
i feel it, and see it in their eyes
but i won't lose sleep, if when they see you they don't see me
i won't mind

all i've seen and known i would make ours
but for each thing that blesses, more leave scars
baby, we could just stay home tonight
i found some softness in a world this hard

but if you should wake one day to find
you don't see yourself as mine
if you should need to leave my side
you'd leave a better man behind
if you should wake one day to find
you don't see yourself as mine...

like and island in a sea of failing coals
a fire that never dies before it's grown
for just another soul that's come in from the cold
seeking shelter from the coming storms

i know, that no one sees us making this
i feel it, and see it in their eyes...
but i won't lose sleep, if when they see you they can't see me
i won't mind...
but if you should wake one day to find
you don't see yourself as mine
if you should need to leave my side
you'd leave a better man behind
if you should wake one day to find
you don't see yourself as mine
if you should need to leave my side...
you'd leave a better man behind.
