Lyrics
Nothing's Safe and Sound
©All Words and Music 2007, 2012 by Warren Hein
It's been a week or so
When you said you had to go
You had enough of our little world
I'm not perfect but I did my best
All you had to do was do the rest
And love me with all your heart
I try to cope these days
In this new phase I feel so unwound
Those words you said
Our love is dead, no way to stick around
Can't turn back time now I find
Nothing's safe and sound
Nothing's safe and sound
Nothing's safe and sound
No no no...
I still hear that slamming door
And your crazy need to even some score
I didn't know we were playing games
You couldn't open up to me
You walked around in secret misery
As if silence could change anything. . .
I need some time and I'll be fine
A little time and I'll be fine
Some time and I'll be fine
I just need time
