you don't call or write for years



and if you think you know then state the obvious



screams inside your eyes



and i said enough don't blink and take this



i promise that i've let you down



it's all i need to hear for now

and anything but this



i'll cover my eyes and wait for



anything but this



i'll cover my eyes and wait for



light to break the silence



and hold a hand that once gets in



i'll cover my eyes and pull you in so close

oh don't you seem sincere



if you ask me what i want the words disappear



because i held it in too long



and i think you need to hear



what i believe is the only reason that



my prayers have fallen on deaf ears

and anything but this



i'll cover my eyes and wait for



anything but this



i'll cover my eyes and wait for



light to break the silence



and hold a hand that once gets in



i'll cover my eyes and pull you in so close

break the silence



break the silence

and anything but this



i'll cover my eyes and wait for



anything but this



i'll cover my eyes and wait for



light to break the silence



and hold a hand that once gets in



i'll cover my eyes and pull you in so close
