lyrics

Are you sitting down?
The question
Free from cruelty or dispassion
It didn't matter

Silence followed as the phone rang
Again, as it had before

Theresa
Why must I be subject
You never deserved it

The reflection of light in my eye
Off the blade of a knife
That couldn't fix the mood
The slab of butter on bread

Alone, I questioned
Her new-found hope
Maybe i was protecting her
But what if i was right?

The thin veil could not mask her eyes
Nor the sorrow they conveyed
Theresa
A look so honest, sincere

Walking together
Seperated by distinction
She asked me why

Turned her head away in distaste
The ground we walked
A firm pathway
To the figure that appeared before me

Uncertain of her motivations
I became certain of my own
Theresa
Standing aside for me to move forward

The hand I held in mine
The gentle urging before me
Theresa
I let go
