on two different sides of the world
Only silent ears between us
Yes, I've thrown all my knives,
been proud of all my pride
And I held my breath to listen to you hurt
all the words that you said?
Well, I haven't yet, and I won't
It's been a long time com ing
You've been a long time gone
I've been a long time coming
Was it poison, was it pain
A thousand things you couldn't name
But they broke your heart
I always blamed it on your will.
Never knew you had to kill
so many parts of yourself
it stays here on my chest
and I feel you press into me
You've been a long time gone
I've been a long time com
Sent a balloon up to the sky, set it free
Let it fly and I watched it disappear
With a note you'll never read
Sent a balloon up to the sky
And I watched it disappear
With a note you'll never read
It's been a long time coming
You've been a long time gone
on two different sides of the world
Only the silent years between us
