Sometimes the things left unsaid
Are deadly like bullets and knives.
Mine cut you deep, girl.
We had no chance to survive.
And there’s an unspoken truth in my eyes,
But the heart whispers words that can’t be denied.
Mine’s telling you that I’m falling,
Falling apart ’cause I fell in love.
You settled into my lungs, and crawled into my heart.
You’re in every word I sing, and my star in the dark.
Early-morning coffee
The first time that we met:
Remember the picture you took of me?
That close-up-style vignette.
My world was blurry before you;
I was too scared to see.
But slowly the picture’s developing,
And I know what’s happening to me.
You settled into my lungs, and crawled into my heart.
You’re in every word I sing, and my star in the dark.
Girl, you might think that we fell,fell hard from the stars,
But my love’s untouched, unmarred.
And I’m telling you that I’m coming apart,
Coming apart ’cause I’m still in love.
You settled into my lungs.
You’re in every word I sing,
Every word I sing.
