[Verse 1]
I can remember shouting
I can remember slamming doors
And I remember seeing signs
Holding it all inside me
Trying to read between the lines
And I can still hear the silence
We fell on the floor like heavy rain
Gutter had washed the words away
Nothing was strong enough to save me
Or wash away the stains
[Chorus]
From where I stand
With the things I know now
They were counting the years on one hand
And are counting the tears on the other
From where I stand
I could never have known
When something lost
Something suffers and something dies
Then we cry
[Verse 2]
Nothing had felt so empty
Nothing had felt so insecure
Nothing could take me from that ways
Wanting to hear your every word
Known the reason for your falling face
There was someone to hold my hand
Somebody to share my point of view
Standing beside me as we go
The least if I have her forever
I never have to know
[Chorus]
From where I stand
With the things I know now
They were counting the years on one hand
And are counting the tears on the other
From where I stand
I could never have known
When something lost
Something suffers and something dies
Then we cry
[Outro]
From where I stand
With the things I know now
They were counting the years on one hand
And are counting the tears on the other
From where I stand
I could never have known
When something lost
Something suffers and something dies
Then we cry
