You can't see into darkness if standing in the light
but I've lived my life a shadow and left you in the dark

I can't survive in these shallow waters
but deeper I sure may drown
Am I too much in this world

Am I draggin you down
I'm trying to reveal the side of me that I know is true
Then why do I reveal such weakness to you

when I feel the most, I fear the most
but I've doubted the loving side of you
Chorus:

How do you
How do you
How do you care

How do you
How do you
How do you feel

Are your words bolder than your heart
How do you, how do you love?
Can we grasp in our hearts

what our lips won't speak
How do you feel this
how do you know

if you can't even speak softly
Now I know I'm stubborn
with my last words tendencies

But you've reduced life to fixed forms
and dying meanings
Chorus

Bridge:
In all the things we choose
I struggle against forgetting

In all the things we lose
when all has been taken
In all the things we forgot

though we had good intentions
This is the way we love
when the truths were never mentioned

There is strength I can only find in myself
That's all I'm expected to gain,
it is all that I have

This is the gift I give to you, my dear
You can take it or continue to leave this life
so frighteningly bare

Chorus
