lyrics

Everyone has a logic they cannot deny.
Somehow you see right through it
with your very special eye.
Even though you suspect the stakes are high,
you don’t move in case you’re wrong.
I believe you even though I can’t.
I know the words… they hardly touch it.
I believe you even though I can’t.
I’m sorry the words are not enough,
and they never will be.
And when you were young you heard the song.
Memory’s trimmed it, now it isn’t very long.
Soon enough the final note will also be gone.
You won’t even ask if you did the right thing.
I believe you even though I can’t.
I know the words… they hardly touch it.
I believe you even though I can’t.
I’m sorry the words are not enough,
and they never will be.
