Words That I Can't Say

I wander the streets that my feet know you've roamed Back when you were still here and this city still felt like home I search for your shadow - love, where did you go? Without you, I'm nothing, so I turn to what I know Which is broken keys, broken melodies A broken song for a broken me I'm tongue-tied, can't you tell in every refrain? The right words have left me, but the music remains So I sing the words that I can never say Watching as your memory fades more each day I reach for you, but you slip away And silence stands where you once would stay I scream the thoughts that I can't release An inward war that refuses to cease In younger days, I was still in one piece Now I'm picking up what remains of me 'Cause you're gone, and my heart's begun to fray All I can do is sing the words that I can't say
