Hear the Words I Say

Wasn't there a moment,
For us to say hello?
Wasn't there an hour,
Before you had to go?

I know we make decisions,
Based on all the things we feel.
I just always thought you'd face me,
When you had to close the deal.

You said,
Hear the words I say,
And not the words I don't
Everything will be alright,
Hold on and don't lose hope.
Hear the things I say,
And not the things I don't.
That's what you said to me,
Just before you left me cold.

Wasn't it a message,
That you were sending me?
It wasn't just the lines,
That I read between.

The silence traveled quickly,
Across the distance that you made.
And nothing could prepare me,
For how it pierced my heart this way.

You said,
Hear the words I say,
And not the words I don't.
Everything will be alright,
Hold on and don't lose hope.
Hear the things I say,
And not the things I don't.
That's what you said to me,
Just before you left me cold.

With open hands I throw those words into the breeze.
Let them go so they won't echo inside me.
Then close my eyes and tell myself to still believe,
God, I've got to still believe.

She said,
Hear the words I say,
And not the words I don't.
Everything will be alright,
Hold on and don't lose hope.
Hear the things I say,
And not the things I don't.
That's what she said to me,
Just before she left me cold.
