The Better Part Of Valor
Life we've forsaken
Not out of spite but out of honesty
Lips sealed, our tongues tied
The secret's safer than you or me
This isn't how it should end
Or should it end at all?
Cuz every now and again
I'll wait for you to call
I'll wait all my life for you
Cuz if this was meant to me, then it's all I can do
I already know it's true
If you still have a heart to steal, then I'll steal it from you
Stolen devotion
A poor excuse to avoid your eyes
Broken, unspoken
Promises all amount to lies
So where do I go from here?
We'd said our last goodbyes
A broken smile left to roam these night skies
Did you ever think that we could really survive
For the last two years,
You buried us alive
And all the softest sighs
All the lover's pleas
They're just a postscript now
Wrapped in parenthesis
