I infuriate myself 
Because of the cards that I’ve dealt 
And the calamity I can’t admit to 
That I have been careless with all of you
Just because I know 
That the letting go
Won’t hold on 
I told him I loved him and then I was gone
Because I don’t want to make good
On our time in the wood
All alone 
I sink after I hang up the phone 
Onto the wooden floor 
And there may be twenty score
Women who would’ve done it differently 
But that’s just how the cookie crumbles
He struggles with a button and fumbles 
And we laugh at the good of the moment 
And in style we hold it 
For all these years 
And there have been my share of tears 
But I wouldn’t take it back 
You’re one thing I’ll never lack 
Because you’re held in my soul 
And for me you’ll never grow old 
But even if you did 
I couldn’t repay the way I hid
From your eyes 
And the lies 
Were your reaction to my subterfuge 
And the deluge 
Came to wash our cars away 
Because the road cannot stay
When you pave it for journey 
Now there’s children lying on a gurney 
Somewhere in the Gaza Strip 
And the military the men equip 
To make war on the innocent skin 
Could I change it with Him 
If he would bargain a chip 
Let me be the one to trip 
On the banana peel 
Because none of this is real 
And there should be someone in black 
So that people know that there’s something we lack 
In the fizz and boom of our modern rush 
Don’t we all crave that silent touch
Of true care 
I want to say I love you because I am there 
Even now, miles away
I touch you with the power to pray
