Edwin Mccain - How Can You Say That To Me lyrics

The air that you breathe it must be poisoned And you're dressed up in your best disguise And I don't want to hear what you have to say It's there in your eyes when you look away These beautiful words are turning into lies [Chorus:] How can you say that to me The light that still shines is just an illusion It's just a memory from a burned out star Its promise has come from so far away It's fighting through sadness and years of decay And it's a wonder it ever made it this far [Chorus] After all of those secrets you let me believe There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe Oh now how can you say that It's not this silence that screams in my mind Each day I feel like I'm falling behind Living in shadows, still getting burned When will I ever learn [Chorus] After all those secrets you let me believe There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe How can you say that to me
