Silence is deceiving, with all these voices in my head
I swear when they told me she was leaving I thought I’d be better off dead
She believes that time will heal everything
Well, I just want to hold on and stay strong, pretend everything is okay
But now I realize what I’ve said and done broke you heart and you can never, ever forgive
So, so I will be a man and understand your need for leaving, head high, now keep my dreams in sight
Hey, hey, hey….. oh my path is so clear to me now
So she told me to sing about hope, well here I go again, raise my voice loud enough to be heard
This is my chance to make a change, mother earth is worth saving, this I believe
My eyes speak the truth, my heart yearns for you and I will fight to the death for everything pure and true
Oh, Oh…….
Now she’s already done
Words can be misleading, so don’t trust everything that you hear
Empty your thoughts, dance with fire, choose wisely in this delicate time
Listen to the wind, she carries knowledge of old
The glitter of gold holds nothing to the beauty of a soul, unwilling to be sold, so natural
Now I, realize what I’ve said and done broke your heart and you can never, ever forgive
So, so I will, be a man and understand your need for leaving, head high, now keep my dreams in sight
Hey, hey, hey…..oh my path is so clear to me now
So she told me to sing about hope, well here I go again, raise my voice loud enough to be heard
This is my chance to make a change, mother earth is worth saving, this I believe
My eyes speak the truth, my heart yearns for you and I will fight to the death for everything pure and true
Oh, oh…….
Now she’s already done
