  • When I couldn't see you from the wall
    What was that you said?
    What was that you said, before you called?

    And when I couldn't catch you for the fall
    What was that you said?
    What was that you said?
    "Nothing hurts this much"

    But I've seen the way that bodies lie
    And bodies tend to break
    And I've been away
    I've been away too long
    Too long to be afraid

    But you know
    What you know is better
    Is brighter
    And you know, you know
    What you know is better
    Is brighter

    And this is where we were when I showed you the dark
    Inside of me, in spite of me
    On a bench in the park, you said to me

    "This is not you"
    "This is not you"
    "This is not you"
    "This is not you"

    But I've seen the way that bodies lie
    And bodies tend to break
    I've been away
    I've been away too long
    I don't know a better place

    But you know
    What you know is better
    Is brighter
    And you know, you know
    What you know is better
    Is brighter

    And this is where we were when I showed you the dark
    Inside of me, in spite of me
    On a bench in the park

    And this is where we are
    In your bed, in my arms
    Outside of me
    In spite of we
    I showed you the dark
    And you said to me

    You know
    What you know is better
    Is brighter

    And you know, you know
    What you know is better
    Is brighter Writer/s: John Gerrit Welmers, Samuel Thompson Herring, William Cashion
