Of all the words you said
These were the ones that could have saved us both
But you said them
Far too late
Of all the words you said
These could've kept the shadows
Of my family
From the ground on which I'm walking
And if I often tell the truth
Facts based on something
I could touch
Things would be all different now
Of all the words you said
These were the ones that could have saved us both
You said them
Far too late
And if I often tell the truth
Facts based on something
I could touch
Things would be all different now
And I wouldn't have to lie
As I see truth in their eyes
On my way down to see them
There'd still be the loss
That we knew when we were kids
And I wouldn't have to lie
And say I'm just fine
