So here I go tonight
I stand before you
The tears in my eyes
They are real

Somewhere in the essence of my soul
I pull back
My lips part in a dusty silence
To tell you how I feel

But the storms grow dim
In an auburn heart
And something before me
Seems so far

And still I try to move forward
Because I know be damned
A lonely heart that knows love
Is the only one that really hurts

As I put my arm
Right there on your side
Again I try
And the words fail me again

Life is full of blessings
And sometimes we don't know
How to let them in
sometimes the failure is easier than the sin

The aura of bliss
That bleeds through to your veins
Speak words that are so foreign
To everything else I know

Desperately I seek out to you
I know your golden orb
I know the tenderness of your flesh
The smooth bliss of your heart

And tonight I stand before you
Tears drip from my eyes
as you drive away
Because of all the words
I just can't say
