Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
[Verse 2]
There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
But this space has been empty
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelf loads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
[Verse 3]
After today
Consider me gone
[Verse 4]
Roses have thorns
And shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep
In the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses
Stain the moon, stain the sun
And history reeks
Of the wrongs we have done
[Verse 5]
After today
Consider me gone
Consider me gone
Consider me
Consider me
Consider me gone
[Verse 6]
I spent too many years
At war with myself
The doctor has told me
It's no good for my health
To search for perfection
Is all very well
But to look for heaven
Is to live here in hell
[Verse 7]
After today
Consider me gone
Consider me gone
Consider me
Consider me
Consider me gone
[Verse 8]
You can't say that
You can't say that
Can't say that
You can't say that
You can't say that
