I know you don't feel this way.
I know it'll never work.
Too much between us.
Far too much differance.
Conclusion breeds contempt,
And now it's out of my hands but
I won't forget
The silent tears we wept.
Wish things had worked out different.
Wish we'd said the things we meant.
Wish I had never kissed you.
I'm so sorry, can't forgive you.
But in the end, it's better.
You said it in your letter.
"The tower always topples,
So get out early while you can."
[Piano bridge.]
Talked online last night
About God and Fate and
Death,
And what it meant.
But does it really matter?
The world's grey and tired.
We all stumble through asleep,
And pretend that life's worthwhile.
I wish that I was kidding.
I hope you'll keep on sitting.
I'd give anything to hear you.
I'm so sorry that I missed you.
The end of days comes nearer.
I must admit, I fear her.
She twists these things inside me,
And hope is all that ever comes.
I know it'll never work.
Too much between us.
Far too much differance.
