Explain To You
As I lie here in my cold bed,
These stupid thoughts running in my head.
I wonder where you are, wonder how you sleep.
I toss and turn you lie dreaming,
Of how it was, not how it is.
Cause life’s the nightmare that prevents us from sleeping.
How can I begin to explain that to you?
That some words are better unsaid
Like some lives are better unled
How can I explain to you?
How can I explain to you?
It's not what happened but what happens next.
Staring at you,
Trying to find the eyes behind the tears,
In the rain, after all that pain.
And when your mind don’t run on rails,
Or your heart can’t be measured on scales,
How can I begin to explain it to you?
That Some words are better unsaid
Like some lives are better unled
How can I explain to you?
How can I explain to you?
Ever wonder what you could be,
If you stop wondering what you could have been?
And what with the price on the money you make,
Exit tax to freedom, for the solider without a cause.
Or a drinker stuck at the top of a bottle.
How can I begin to explain it to you?
That some words are better unsaid
Like some lives are better unled
How can I explain to you?
How can I explain to you?
