It kills me not to know this But I've all but just forgotten But the color of her eyes were And her scars or how she got them As the telling signs of age rain down A single tear is droppin' Through the valleys of an aging face That this world has forgotten There is no reconciliation That will put me in my place And there is no time like the present To drink these draining seconds But seldom do these words ring true When I'm constantly failing you Like walls that we just can't break through Until we disappear So tell me now If this ain't love Then how do we get out? 'Cause I don't know That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you While there's still something left to save" That's when I told her "I love you, girl, but I'm not the answer For the questions that you still have" Oh oh oh And the day pressed on like crushing weights For no man does it ever wait Like memories of dying days That deafen us like hurricanes Bathed in flames we held the brand Uncurled the fingers in your hand Pressed into the flesh like sand Now do you understand? So tell me now If this ain't love How do we get out? 'Cause I don't know That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you While there's still something left to save" That's when I told her "I love you, girl, but I'm not the answer For the questions that you still have" Oh oh oh One thousand miles away There's nothing left to say But so much left that I don't know We never had a choice This world is too much noise It takes me under It takes me under once again I don't hate you I don't hate you, no But tell me now If this ain't love Then how do we get out? 'Cause I don't know That's when she said "I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you While there's still something left to save" That's when I told her "I love you, girl, but I'm not the answer For the questions that you still have" Oh oh, I don't hate you I don't hate you Oh oh, I don't hate you No, I don't hate you Oh oh
