lyrics

there's a leak in my soul and my love is going to waste
i'll keep it safe in my song like a locket saves a face
but still that love is no more kept by written notes
for to ring in our ears our song must die inside our throats

deep in another bed while breaking all my swears
i grew sick of that kind of love where you barter but don't share
yes still I thought of you as I lay in that bed
and I was smothered by the thought of my regret

but go on, tell your story
do I belong in those lines?
I've tossed until morning
wondering if you'll ever change your mind

I'm afraid of the future, I could use a bit more time
I've lost a gem at the water's edge; it'll scatter with the tide
yes I'm so scared that we've whispered in the dark
will always stay unlit though needing but a spark

so now I know that you have kept those flowers safe
and if your sweet memory fades they'll still keep their sweet trace
but if like this song my love does ring and sweetly fade
at least I can sing again these notes here I have made
