Description
~What's No More~

I didn't know those would be the last words I ever said to you,
Or else they would have been chosen with a little more care,
Superficial time was meant to cut through,
Have not healed yet and my faith is rare,

At night when I lie in bed, I hear your voice downstairs,
I wish I'd known what would stay,
Thought I was good and strong until I turned to prayers,
Frightened by losing myself as from night befell another day,

You start to feel the days get longer, life getting shorter,
And the child knows more than I am prepared to explain,
I wish I didn't see that face as some kind of torture,
She carried me from where I was to where I remain,

My grip never loosened, I never learned my lesson,
I wish I'd known when I should have held on tighter,
We'll never be able to answer that question,
Pain is not a grudge, you left quite a battle for someone who was never much of a fighter.
