Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It kills me not to know this
But I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were
And her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down
A single tear is droppin'
Through the valleys of an aging face
That this world has forgotten
[Verse 2]
And there is no reconciliation
That will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
To drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true
When I'm constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can't break through
Until we disappear
[Verse 3]
So, tell me now
If this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
[Verse 4]
That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
[Verse 5]
But the day pressed on like crushing wieghts
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?
[Verse 6]
So, tell me now
If this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
[Verse 7]
That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
[Verse 8]
One thousand miles away
There's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
[Verse 9]
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
[Verse 10]
So, tell me now
If this ain't love
Then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know
[Verse 11]
That's when she said, "I don't hate you, boy
I just want to save you
While there's still something left to save"
That's when I told her, "I love you, girl
But I'm not the answer
For the questions that you still have"
[Verse 12]
Whoa-oh
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
Whoa-oh
I don't hate you
No I don't hate you
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
