Snow

The lines across the mirror
tell me of your lies.
And the marks around your eyelids
cannot be disguised.

But the truth is that I knew it,
I just didn't want to say.
'Cause the truth, I knew, would cause it
to end up ending this way.

And it's a pretty shitty ending
to our happy little song.
But just 'cause I'm pretending,
it doesn't mean I'm gone.
My heart still waits in silence
where you left it on the ground.
But if you set aside the violence,
you know I'll be around.

Because, the fact is, I'm not able
to let you go again.
Our story's just beginning
so this cannot be the end.
I know I was your let down,
the failing in your mind,
but if you let me, I will pick you up,
then maybe you will find

that in the midst of all this anger,
I only saw your smile.
And the only thing that stole it
was your own selfish denial.
But just because we're crying,
it doesn't mean we're weak
In fact, there's no denying,
we'll get back on our feet.

Just give into the silence,
then let it fall away.
And, baby, stop the violence
and I'll forever stay.
Just bury indiscretion,
let go of what you knew
surrender to my love,
because I live only for you.
