You offer me nothing but your closed up fist
Betrayer’s kiss, the you say this
“I don’t love you anymore”
Look down and my journal’s open on the floor
What’s it for and where is yours
Something dies inside my soul
Take it with you, take it where you go
Take it with you, don’t need it anymore
No no
I offered you everything, my open hand
My true love’s kiss, then I said this
I will love you evermore
Looked up and your eyes were closed
In tears they opened
We kissed, you wrote your vows into the sand
And you have held my heart since then
Well please don’t take it with you, leave it when you go
Don’t take it with you, I’ll need it to move on, move on
And how is it that time and space could grow between us love
Are words just not enough to rely on
Or is it once they’re spoken out loud
You just can’t take them back
But written in the sand they’ll wash away
And words we keep in sacred places are secrets we have kept
But once they’re read by eyes unmeant
The pages are defiled and left for dead
And stolen secrets burn inside our heads
And so you’ll take them with you
You’ll take them where you go
You’ll take them with you
They’ll haunt you evermore
Evermore . . .
