you don't call or write for years
and if you think you know then state the obvious
screams inside your eyes
and i said enough don't blink and take this
i promise that i've let you down
it's all i need to hear for now
and anything but this
i'll cover my eyes and wait for
anything but this
i'll cover my eyes and wait for
light to break the silence
and hold a hand that once gets in
i'll cover my eyes and pull you in so close
oh don't you seem sincere
if you ask me what i want the words disappear
because i held it in too long
and i think you need to hear
what i believe is the only reason that
my prayers have fallen on deaf ears
and anything but this
i'll cover my eyes and wait for
anything but this
i'll cover my eyes and wait for
light to break the silence
and hold a hand that once gets in
i'll cover my eyes and pull you in so close
break the silence
break the silence
and anything but this
i'll cover my eyes and wait for
anything but this
i'll cover my eyes and wait for
light to break the silence
and hold a hand that once gets in
i'll cover my eyes and pull you in so close
