Kayak - What I'm About To Say lyrics

What I'm about to say May come out of the blue A sudden darkness that won't disappear What I'm about to say May break our world in two But one that wasn't ever really here And does it matter in the end How long we've loved or how we've made it last It's taken longer to pretend To hold on to an image of the past Cause what I'm about to say I've told you time and time again Only I just wasn't speaking out Or you wouldn't understand How my love had worn away That's what I was trying to say What I'm about to say May twist a dagger in your heart And shatter all the hopes and dreams you had What I'm about to say May leave you badly bruised and scarred Wondering if live was ever meant to hurt like that But does it matter in the end What could have been or what we've lost We build a fortress out of sand With borders that nobody should have crossed Cause what I'm about to say I've told you time and time again Only I just wasn't speaking out Or you wouldn't understand How my love was torn away That's what I'd been trying to say I told myself all wounds could heal If only given time But love felt like a poisoned arrow Stuck inside my mind I wanted to believe so badly Trust could be rewon And God knows that I tried to love you But the feeling's gone Now I watch you sleeping, peacefully, unarmed Lying here beside me, unaware and unalarmed I pray the night won't go away For what I'm about to say.
