Something For A Lovesong Songtext

von Libitina

Smile at me for I can't read your mind,
And your eyes leave too much still unsaid,
This moment must be correctly met,
Else we'll live in constant regret-
I know you hold a torch for another,
So let's revel under its yearning light.

And if you leave me now then we'll never know,
There'll always be a question in your eye,
A silence of remembrance or penitence,
Your glance broken too late to tell the lie,
Of a trust never even tried.

We'll move around this wavering torch,
Fleeting promises to keep love out of sight,
Laugh at the futility of these thoughts,
Nothing can stop us being burned again-
We are the bearers of many old flames,
Let's use them to guide us to bed before they wane.

And if you leave me then now we'll never know,
There'll always be a question in your eye,
A silence of remembrance or penitence,
Your glance broken too late to tell the lie,
Of a trust never even tried.

We can mourn and miss them all we like
But it's so unlikely that they'll return,
There's always too much said and not undone
To walk those halcyon paths once again-
It's simpler just to take my hand in yours
And we'll make those mistakes again.

And if you leave me now then we'll never know,
There'll always be a question in your eye,
A silence of remembrance or penitence,
Your glance broken too late to tell the lie,
Of a trust never even tried.
