Too Close To Touch Lyrics

■ Won't You Listen

Oh, have we been blinded by the sights you sought to see?
Or maybe buried underneath a vision
The person you thought you make us be

The foresight of our life caught between a rock and a hard place
It leaves a bitter taste of tongue-tied words you spoke in vain
We hear nothing, nothing but promises

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
Alone you'll never make it
Forever forced to fake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

Oh, are you happy?
Do you hear me?
Did you feel our hearts breaking slowly?
Maybe all you care for is all you see
Shut our hope in a bottle and cast to see
It's perceptions of what could have been
What might have been, what should have been
Through these veins and out the pen
Stain the canvas every night

I'd be lying if I said I'm fine somewhat
It's hard to breathe
It's hard to breathe when it's tight, sealed shut

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
Alone you'll never make it
Forever forced to fake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all

The foresight of our life caught between a rock and a hard place
It leave a bitter taste of "sorry" slipping through your teeth
And I know you know that

I'd be lying if I said I'm fine somewhat
I'm breaking free
Today you'll see that your words weren't enough

Saw you never face it, but you could never shake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
Alone you'll never make it
Forever forced to fake it
You left the only thing that ever mattered at all
