2. Hours Passed In Exile (4:45)
What if:
A) some things are destined to failure
B) some things are never meant to be
C) someone never sees
D) someone never opens
E) somehow we are different
Though I never claimed to be right
Give to me the benefit of doubt
I brought you fires
That you put out
I brought you fires
For I cannot be without
I came with sadness
But this my shattered heart can't bear
What of the times in exile
What of the hours passed
What if touches seem too trivial
You can never tell me I'm wrong
A song I've heard so long
So what if healing takes forever
So what if time is meant for others
So what is left is but a shatter
And what is broken can't be whole
A) some things are destined to failure
B) some things are never meant to be
C) someone never sees
D) someone never opens
E) somehow we are different
Though I never claimed to be right
Give to me the benefit of doubt
I brought you fires
That you put out
I brought you fires
For I cannot be without
I came with sadness
But this my shattered heart can't bear
What of the times in exile
What of the hours passed
What if touches seem too trivial
You can never tell me I'm wrong
A song I've heard so long
So what if healing takes forever
So what if time is meant for others
So what is left is but a shatter
And what is broken can't be whole
