lyrics

Speak to me with the words of an honest woman.
Speak to me, M, with your guns up against my chest.
You left your light on as a beacon for all these shipwrecks
But I, I was too far out at sea.

I never had my chance to say
I never had my chance to say
All the words I wanted to say
Brown diamond shapes patterned down your legs
And denial tells me I'll be ok.

I sold my soul to the devil so I'd have you forever
I chose to believe you'd sell yours to get mine back.
Now you're gone with the dawn on the train I set you off on
And it appears that you're not coming back.

I never had my chance to say
I never had my chance to say
I never knew the words to say
Brown diamond shapes patterned down your legs
And denial tells me I'll be ok.

You can say what you want because no one is listening
I can say what I want because no one cares.
We lit the flames in our bodies and they burned in unison.
Oh how we'd push the tide and make our shadows dance.
Now you're pushed aside and our shadows do nothing
And you tell me that I don't have a chance.

I never had my chance to say
I never got my chance to say
You send a smile and then walk away
Feelings fleeing in multiple ways.
I never had my chance to say
I never got my chance to say
I never knew the words to say
Brown diamond shapes patterned down your legs
And denial..
Fear..
Something tells me I'm not ok.
