You spread me thin across the page Try to read keep it like a book And you made your mark and you set it aside thinking i could wait You were wrong it took too long And you said hands like these Something about tranquility Went to a place a thousand miles from here Try to make it precious and hold on but it was gone Soaked to my knees i thought i would drown And all alone I heard a voice filled with pain (it was mine) And you're reminded of this now and you think of this again And again
