lyrics

I don’t believe I knew you like I wanted to
I don’t believe I saw you as you wished to be seen
One reckless night in summer I frayed the threads that wind
around what now appears to me a distant dream

Conscience signaling, I could wait no more
though I hesitate to even speak her name
I’m ready for a nasty fight, anxious nights and vicious slights
but I waited for a fight that never came

Confession to the fading light in your eyes

Slings and arrows from afar, with a curious reserve
Oh you never even raise your voice to shout
I’m dying here to take abuse, expose the wound, seek the truth
but every precious hope I had is drowned in doubt

Confession to the fading light in your eyes

Sorry won’t raise a candle to a broken trust
Contrition dies on the vine
Your remorse pales against my shattered heart
I can’t hold a place for you beside a lie

I don’t believe I knew you like I wanted to
I don’t believe I saw you as you wished to be seen
One last ditch night in winter I plead with all I have
Confession to the fading light in your eyes
