The Better Part of Valor

Life we’ve forsaken

Not out of spite but out of honesty

Lips sealed, our tongues tied

The secret’s safer than you or me

This isn’t how it should end

Or should it end at all?

Cuz every now and again

I’ll wait for you to call

I’ll wait all my life for you

Cuz if this was meant to me, then it’s all I can do

I already know it’s true

If you still have a heart to steal, then I’ll steal it from you

Stolen devotion

A poor excuse to avoid your eyes

Broken, unspoken

Promises all amount to lies

So where do I go from here?

We’d said our last goodbyes

A broken smile left to roam these night skies

Did you ever think that we could really survive

For the last two years,

You buried us alive

And all the softest sighs

All the lover's pleas

They’re just a postscript now

Wrapped in parenthesis
