Of all the words you've said These were the ones that could have saved us both But you said them Far too late Of all the words you've said These could have kept the shadows Of my family From the ground on which I'm walking And if I'd only been told the truth Facts based on something that I could touch Things would be all different now Of all the words you've said These were the ones that could have saved us both But you said them Far too late And if I'd only been told the truth Facts based on something that I could touch Things would be all different now And I wouldn't have to lie As I see truth in their eyes And the blocks that I pass On my way down to see them They'd still be the blocks That we knew when we were kids I wouldn't have to lie When say I'm just fine And I'd still know how to dance Away what was bad Instead of holding on to The thoughts that stifle Now you're bound to a promise That you don't wish to keep While I'm held in the ruins Of something That once was a home That once was my home Now you're bound to a promise That you don't wish to keep While I'm held in these ruins Just something that I could touch And I'd still know how to dance Away what was bad I'd still know how to dance Away what was bad
