Ma ybe I'm still hu rting I ca n't turn the other che ek
But you know that I still lo ve you it's j ust that I can't spe ak
I lo oked for you in e veryone and they ca lled me on that t oo
I li ved alo ne but I was o nly c oming ba ck to yo u
They're shutting down the fa ctory now just when a ll the bi lls are du e
And the fields they're under lo ck and key
Though the r ain and the s un come thro ugh
And spr ingtime starts but the n it stops in the na me of something n ew
And al l the se nses ri se agai nst this c oming ba ck to yo u
And they're ha nding down my se ntence now and I kn ow what I must do
Ano ther mile of s ilence while I'm co ming back to yo u
The re are many i n your life and ma ny st ill to be
Since you are a sh ining light there's m any th at you'll se e
But I ha ve to deal with e nvy when you cho ose the precious f ew
Who've le ft their pri de on the o ther si de of c oming ba ck to yo u
Even in your a rms I k now I'll never get it r ight
Even when you be nd to give me c omfort i n the ni ght
I've g ot to have your wo rd on this or no ne of it is tr ue
And al l I've sa id was ju st inste ad of c oming ba ck to yo u
