Long Shadows

We both know where this goes
So, why even talk about it now?
You’re like a saint, full of hate
I know there are words you’ll never ever say
Like a stone when it’s cold
We break more like we’re ice beneath the snow
But I’ll try to set things right
But our questions brought by distance can’t be solved if you won’t listen

I want it, so I got it
Now I need it, but I’m sure that I’ll be fine
In the ocean, there’s a storm
And it’s dark and feels like war, but I’ll be fine
I’ll light a candle for each day
That I know you’ll be away, but I’ll be fine
But you ain’t ever coming back,
‘til the waves are made of wax, but I’ll be fine.

The wind will blow, and you’d go
You wouldn’t let a shadow touch the ground
So I tried, to let in light
By pulling every cloud from the sky
But how you turn, on a dime
What’s yours is yours, and you were never mine
I’ll be fine, just say goodbye
If you still don’t want to say it, then let me, I love the shade

I want it, so I got it
Now I need it, but I’m sure that I’ll be fine
In the ocean, there’s a storm
And it’s dark and feels like war, but I’ll be fine
I’ll light a candle for each day
That I know you’ll be away, but I’ll be fine
But you ain’t ever coming back,
‘til the waves are made of wax, but I’ll be fine.
