lyrics

Words so weak
If love can't be spoken
why bother to speak?

So I'll paint a picture and try to express
The thundering silence
Inside of my chest
I'll write a song and hope that you feel
beneath every word
there is something real

words so strong
but even the right ones
Still feel pretty wrong

Shapes cannot express
The joy of a birth
Or the anguish of death

So I'll paint a picture and try to explain
The thundering silence
That my heart contains
I'll write a song and hope that you feel
beneath all these words
there is someone real

words get in the way of everything I need to say
i love you, i miss you, thank you, i’m sorry

i’ll do my best to not crowd the silence
with my nervousness


**The wonderful Flo Perlin and I began this song a couple of years ago on one of our many Skype dates. Singing in harmony over Skype isn't ideal - we grew frustrated and abandoned it after a bit of the first verse, and the chorus. It recently came back to me, and I finished it.
