lyrics

Do I tell you what I’m feeling? Or will you turn and walk away?
It’s hard to open up and speak with sincerity when it feels like there’s nothing left to say.

I wait in silence. And the silence weighs on me.
And it’s hard to find affection when your back is turned to me.
Do I risk losing face and tell you what I feel?
Or speak the words you want to hear and deny all that is real? Listen to me

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but only you can hurt me
Put a little distance between you and me when I’m alone and you’re all I need
Sticks and stones can be atoned; I suffer so much more when you desert me
There’s a little distance between you and me, and that’s not how it’s meant to be

It’s a battle trying to keep a love alive.
It blossoms out of nowhere and, over time, sometimes it dies.
We fight that battle every single day, with compromise and sacrifice
we try to keep those fears at bay. Listen to me

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but only you can hurt me
Put a little distance between you and me when I’m alone and you’re all I need
Sticks and stones can be atoned; I suffer so much more when you desert me
There’s a little distance between you and me, and that’s not how it’s meant to be

GUITAR SOLO

Now I’ll tell you what I’m feeling. Please don’t turn and walk away
It’s hard to open up and speak with sincerity, but there’s so much we need to say.
