Please forgive the silence of my heart, 
as it lies to you and pretends that I'm okay...
    When the lights in my eyes went out, 
you came into the storm...
    I drive away anyone
who is brave enough to hold me tight...
    I no longer play that song 
that used to make me feel your love...
    He got in the car and drove me away
in the direction of the devil's house...
    The more I think about it, 
the more I can't get you out of my head...
    There was a man with a camera 
coming home with us tonight...
    The car broke down miles from home, 
miles from nowhere...
    Sipping vodka, 
I pour myself another drink...
    The children echo in silence, 
tears dripping without permission...
    It feels like I am always trying 
to love you from afar...
    I wish I could answer all of your questions, 
one at a time, to help you understand me...
