lyrics

I’ve been spending all my time
Trying to break the ice that has grown.

And I’ve been wasting all my time
Finding words to fill the gaps that have grown.

Could we have guessed this is where we’d be,
Taking down walls and trying to see
What eachother’s thinking,
Hoping for some certainty?

All I want to do is tell you how I feel,
Free these words from my heart and find out if they’re real.
But I open my mouth and no words come out,
No words to fill the silence that’s killing me.
The silence that’s killing me.

It gets so hard to find them,
The pieces of the puzzle that I think we’re missing.
I need you to stay.
I know I’m throwing so much time away.

And I can’t find a way to clear this,
This tension in the air, please tell me you can’t feel it.
I know I’m moving so slow.
But there’s still so much I need you to know.

And I’ve been living my life,
Stumbling through the void that has grown.

And I’ve been wasting hours and hours,
Trying to fill the cracks that have grown.

And I’m waiting for the sun to come out,
To melt the ice,
To swallow the dark,
So I can find the piece of my shattered heart.

Maybe then I can scream through this empty space,
Smoke will clear and I’ll see your face.
And I’ll reach out
And tell you what you’ve always meant to me.
What you mean to me.

It gets so hard to find them,
The pieces of the puzzle that I think we’re missing.
I need you to stay.
I know I’m throwing so much time away.

And I can’t find a way to clear this,
This tension in the air, please tell me you can’t feel it.
I know I’m moving so slow.
But there’s still so much I need you to know.
