Broken Heart-On

I know that you're hiding things,
using gentle words to shelter me.
Your words were like a dream...
But dreams could never fool me.
Not that easily...

I acted so distant then,
didn't say goodbye before you left.
But I was listening...
You fight your battles far frome me,
far too easily...

"Save your tears, 'cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door.
But still I swore
to hide the pain. When I turn back the pages,
Shouting might have been the answer.
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart.

Though a thousand words
have never been spoken,
They'll fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings.
And a thousand words,
one thousand confessions,
will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away.
They'll hold you forever.

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget.
I still relive that day.
You've been there with me all the way.
I still hear you say...

"Wait for me, I'll write you letters"
I could see how you stand with your eyes to the floor.
But still I swore
To hide the doubt. When I turn back the pages,
Anger might have been the answer.
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late.

'Cause a thousand words
call out through the ages.
They'll fly to you,
even though we can't see, I know they're reaching you,
suspended on silver wings.
Oh a thousand words,
one thousand embraces,
will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away.
They'll hold you forever.

And a thousand words,
Have never been spoken.
They'll fly to you
And carry you home, and back into my arms,
suspended on silver wings.
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages.
They'll cradle you,
changing all of the lonely years to only days.
They'll hold you forever.

A thousand words...
