Little Earthquakes

Little Earthquakes

I know I can love you much better

But the end is coming closer

I don't know where we go or lead

It doesn't matter if I bleed

The knot is slipping

Our lives are sliding

Are you gone now

Will you be back now

It seems like I've known you for so long

These words are burning my tongue

Because I can't let them out

I can't move

My tears had been stolen

My voice had been broken

Can't you take me away

Can't you just choose another way

And my heart is carved

In cold steel

My hands are too numb

To feel

Take what you couldn't handle

Blow out the candle

Wrap the darkness around me

Act as if you couldn't see

I feel like singing

To make better what I'm losing

I feel like letting go

All that helped me to live somehow

Did you say it's better this way

That you'd be back some day

I don't know if I can face it alone
