All but your heart

You leave the light on in the hall

Like I might stay until the dawn

You draw me close,

you say my name

Then make tomorrow feel withdrawn

Your closest people know of me

You speak as if I have a place

Then when I ask what this could be

A shadow crosses through your

face

You say tonight is all you need

I hear how hard you try to smile

But I can't live inside a moment

When I'm measuring every

mile

Don't hold me like a promise

If you can't promise anything

Don't give me all your tenderness Then take away the meaning

Your body leans toward mine

Your mind says I belong

But your heart is standing somewhere else And I've been waiting far

too

long

You say the present should be enough

But I keep seeing past the room

Each time you reach across the dark I feel the distance coming

soon

Then you tell me what you know for sure

Your head and body point to me

But when you search your heart for proof There is no answer

underneath

I hear the mercy in your voice I hear the truth you

can't disguise

Being almost what you want

Is still a way to slowly die

I could become more patient

I could pretend I have no fear I could call this living

freely

While I disappear in here

But love is not a locked door I can force until it

turns If you have to think about choosing me

There's nothing left to learn

Don't hold me like a promise If you can't promise anything Don't

kiss me like a future

Then call it just a passing thing

Your body leans toward mine Your mind says I belong But your

heart is standing somewhere else And I can't wait there on my

own

Let the quiet say the rest Let it finish what we won't

I can't fight for a future

That your heart has never known
