lyrics

I want for all of my habits
To be somehow fragments
Of all the people I have loved
And not some strange inheritance
From some lost relative
So far removed from all I’ve done

Oh all I’ve done

If you only knew
The color of the sun that I see
When I close my eyes
I’d be blind to the world
Till the madness is gone - left unnamed
Till the turn of the tide

'Cause I can’t hold it in my head
Your hurt In my head
I can’t hold it in my head
But I had the heart to try

And I won't know the names
Of the people you lost, in the wars
You fought on your own
And I won't know the sting
Of the love you forgot, that hit hard
In the stories we told
And I won't know the fear
In your feet as you walk, every night
To a place called home

I can't hold it in my head
Your hurt in my head
I can't hold it in my head
But I had the heart to try

There’s a ringing in my ear
That just won't go away
And it keeps me awake at night
Is it something that I hear
To remind that I need
To forget myself sometimes
Oh I know what it is
To pray for better luck
To hope against your pride
I would be by your side
When your karmic wheel is stuck
And that still won’t make it right

Cause I can't hold it in my head
Your hurt in my head
I can’t hold it in my head
But I had the heart to try
Still have the heart to try
