This has gone on way too long
She said to him kneeling
Here’s my leaving song
This must break hard to start healing

But I can’t believe you
I never thought I could
If your own wounds don’t grieve you
How do you think mine ever could?


Given the power you should be leading
You swore you’d remain strong
Breathy words you keep repeating
Sweaty hands keep rubbing raw

But I can’t believe you
I see it in your eyes
If words this sweet deceive you
You must train yourself to see the lies


She kissed him once on his forehead
She whispered in his ear
The she moved towards the doorway
And commenced to disappear

I can’t believe you
Screams his heart still pounding fast
I swore I’d never leave you
And you swore that this would last


Wasted faceless piles of jargon
Need bigger pipes or we will clog
Adjust the ramrod in your back and keep marching
Into this dampening history fog

But I can’t believe you
You’re much too much involved
And nothing can relieve you
This knot’s been tied for way too long
Way too long…


Born to die, born to be nothing
Born for no reason at all
Raise the flag you fly of treason
Purse your lips and raise the call

But I can’t believe you


You understand the lightening
Cause you’ve seen from where it came
But you’ve never seen that it’s much more frightening
The cracking mast, you loose the main...

And oh this rain
And oh this rain
And oh this rain
And oh this rain
