If I could take away the memories
 Of all the things I used to be
 The price we pay for all the miles apart
 An emptiness inside our heart
 And I wait for love
 But it's not enough
 Too many words unspoken

 And I wait for love
 But it never comes
 Too many words unspoken
 The comfort fades
 The silence weighs upon
 A tragic type of calm that invades our lives
 I can't escape the killing time
 I know there's no starting over, but can't we try
 One word at a time can breathe new life
 And I wait, and I wait but...
