We Can

Can we forget where we've been?
Is it possible that you
could let this go again?
And I know I keep asking
for forgiveness
but I'm only human
I can't be perfect
and I promise it's not worth it
to let me back in.

But if you wanna try, try to try again
I'll do my best to keep your belief in me.
We can talk this over, we can make it through it
We can do it.
We can do it, oh...

Such simple words, so small
could tear everything down
It's so hard to figure out.
To get my mind around it.
I know this is the end of the line
if you don't change your mind.
And I can't say I blame you
for being worried, 'cuz I would
be, too.
This isn't easy.

But if you wanna try, try to try again
I'll do my best to keep your belief in me.
We can talk this over, we can make it through it.
We can do it,
We can do it, oh....

Yeah, this is your choice
say yes, I'll stay, or no, I'll go
back to where I belong
far away from here
Away from your heart
Or we could start
all over again.
Is this the beginning or end?

I must say
I wouldn't trust me
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

Art

pull the words from the inner shadows of my soul
grab them, hold on tight, and never let go.
can you help me paint a picture
with a paintbrush of my fingertips?
and my mind is spinning,
counting all the spaces
where you used to be.
Don't apologize for silence,
'cuz that's just who you are
I talked too much, and you listened
your way into my heart.

So let the days pass,
let your face fade from my haunting dreams.
And I pray that next time I look
in your eyes, I don't get that feeling
that I'm falling again.

So let the harmony dance from my heart,
dance onto the page.
I'll do my best to paint you a picture
explaining how I felt, how I feel, the pain.
I'm doing my best to paint you a picture.

Cast Away

Delusions, confusion clouds
hover, smother and decay.
Don't believe anything you hear
and only half what I say.
Lay down your weapons
of destruction
Cast away your soul,
cast away your soul,
get it out of here.

This place is nothing but
an abyss of broken hearts
and lies crowding between the spaces.
Don't let yourself fall apart
You'll be taken over, don't leave yourself open,
don't seal yourself shut.
