What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
We pass through these rooms without speaking
2
Where the light throws a pattern of lace
3
You say you don't know if you are leaving
4
But there's no shadow of doubt upon your face
5
And you tell me there is no other
6
And I know you well enough to know it's true
7
And well enough to know you need a lover
8
Who can give what I never gave to you.
9
You can say that you were lonely
10
When I lay right by your side
11
You can say you saw the distance
12
When I looked you in the eye
13
And you can say I never reached you
14
No matter how many times I tried
15
But don't say I didn't love you
16
Cause that's a god damn lie
17
I emptied the drawer filled with letters
18
And I bowed my head and cried
19
No one ever loved me better
20
There was love in every line
21
But there were times I didn't hold you
22
When all you needed was a touch
23
And there were times when I said nothing
24
When one word would have been enough
25
And it seems sometimes like I lost my hand to a machine
26
In an accident a long time ago
27
It grabbed at my fingers and tore them off clean
28
Still I wait for these fingers to grow
29
And if I had fingers I'd touch your cheek
30
With a gesture so gentle and fine
31
I would braid your hair with baby's breath
32
I would take your hand in mine
33
You can say that you were lonely
34
When I lay right by your side
35
You can say you saw the distance
36
When I looked you in the eye
37
And you can say I never reached you
38
No matter how many times I tried
39
But don't say I didn't love you
40
Cause that's a god damn lie
41
I hear your voice in the morning
42
Singing softly to yourself
43
I know you imaging the loving
44
That awaits you with somebody else
45
And maybe I will find another
46
Who will take me in spite of these scars
47
And each of us yet may discover
48
How innocent we are
49
You can say that you were lonely
50
When I lay right by your side
51
You can say you saw the distance
52
When I looked you in the eye
53
And you can say I never reached you
54
No matter how many times I tried
55
But don't say I didn't love you
56
Cause that's a god damn lie
57
I know you won't say I didn't love you
58
Cause you know it would be a lie
