done

--> There’s a place I’ve been where the walls are wearing skin
Where no one lives inside, it’s just an empty hollow hide

The snow falls briskly, leaving you thin, so prickly
Where short, short skirts tend to silken shirts
and we are all so low.

There’s a place I’ve been where you would only hear that pin
Where no one says hello, how dare you consider your friend your fellow

The sky turns purple, orange, red, you might as well rip yourself to shreds
Where wavy hair meets a woman’s stare
and she whispers hello, goodbye.

There’s a place I’ve been where all you want is out
Where children fear
and I tear
Where there is no air
and I tear
Rip it. Deface it. Call it Nothing.

There is a place I have been.

I will try to be there for you, I will try to be there for you if I can, what if I can't?

 

"If I am a Stranger," Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

For all the hours here that move too slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?

If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?

Today is yesterday when you don't know
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
Who you only want to hide your darkness from
So you won't let them down

If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
Our love will always be
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?

For all the hours here that move to slow
There's all this letting go, that won't pass
If all this love is real, how will we know?
And if we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?

If I am a stranger now to you
I will always be, I will always be
Stronger now then me, stronger than you
Our love will always be
If we let it go, I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
