Sleeping At Last - Silhouettes lyrics

You wrote your name in invisible ink For you were so afraid of what they might think But the scars they left, they were loud and clear Weren't they? weren't they? When it's too much to bare, memories erase A disappearing act, deserving of our thanks When it surfaces, just hold your breath And swim. just swim You begged and begged for some kind of change: Maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain That they've pa**ed down to you like DNA But no luck, no luck It seems only by the hand of God or d**h Will they truly change their silhouettes For a miracle or a consequence You wait and wait… … maybe distance is the only cure? Far away from hurt is where healing occurs But all you really want to do is make them proud Don't you? don't you? It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up To believe in the ghost of unbroken love But i promise you The truth is that you're loved. so loved
