If I had one thing to say   Would I say the words I need to say   Or would my voice catch in my throat   And softly fade away   Among these hallways where these hands are held   And letters where the heart is shelled   And the smile underneath the words   Where I said I loved you too         These are the secrets   And the words we can't repeat   Backwards the direction moves the ground beneath our feet   Back and forth among the lies   The promises we keep (all broken)   Steps we take and bonds we break   Are graves we dig this deep         And as I drive alone tonight   Another hearse, another sight   Another limo in the dark   Another tale tonight   Because it's all I see in empty eyes   In bluer blood and grayer skies   And every word I ever said that you threw back at me         We lie awake in sleepless dreams   And silently we cry (thank you)         I'm letting go   But I will not be the one who falls this time   Because this satisfaction is momentary   And I use my words and actions   As a lens, and never a mirror   I smiled because you loved me   And although you called me gravity    It is strange that I alone felt the effects         PS   Can you hear me now?
