Tears well up and words exchanged
As we try to match each other blow by blow
The days go by but nothing's changed
We simply patch the surface of what lies below
On any given morning
Yesterday's smile may just have been replaced
From somewhere without warning
Rain clouds appear on sunny days
Break into my consciousness.
Break into my silence
But don't break me down
Break into my loneliness.
Do it with some tenderness
Don't break me down
It would hurt for me to know
That I could never change your heart or mine
It's easier to let it go
But that's an option that I'm likely to decline
The truth is understanding
That everything has a time and a place
A chapter could be closing
As an opening door your saving grace
