Lyrics
i wanna be close to you so i've been watching you
day after day i'm still wondering
the things that you think about, even the things you doubt
honestly you could say anything
seeing you lock it out brings out the worst in me
but there isn't anything that i could say
i'm watching your colours fade, blue eyes becoming grey
it was your fault but you turned away
and you left her with nothing; no there was nothing you would say
it wasn't important, it wasn't important
so there was nothing you would say
now isn't it coming clear, wanting to disappear
tell me how long will you keep this up?
and didn't you wonder when no one could comprehend
cuz everyone knows you just turn away
and you left them with nothing; no there was nothing you would say
it wasn't important, it wasn't important
and you didn't trust them anyway
now is there a consequence to this ambivilance?
i hope to god there will come a day
when you can't avoid the facts, we'll finally interact
father to daughter it's not too late
so please leave me with something; there's gotta be something you can say
i think it's important, i think it's important
there's gotta be something you can say
