A careful whisper
A sideways glance
I knew just what that meant for me
A stolen promise
No second chance
Just further taunts and misery
A muffled laughter
A biting pass
Do they remember
Do they ever look back
What is all this for
What is even real
How can love exist
If I can't trust what I feel
But there has always been you
Out of darkness
You carry me through
Now I carry on
Because of the love you've shown me
Some nights are so damn long
But I want you to know you help me
And so I write this song
To help me stop apologizing
And perhaps it's been too long
Since I've said what you mean to me
This feeling haunts me
Those words repeating back
Forever lodged in my memory
Clutched in the corner
I turn my own back
Too embarrassed of the truth
Of my state of being
Now I carry on
Because of the love you've shown me
Some nights are so damn long
But I want you to know you help me
And so I write this song
To help me stop apologizing
And perhaps it's been too long
Since I've said what you mean to me
