emphatic

i have been your voice before

i have heard you screaming

i have seen you cost of loving

and war

i have been your choice before

i have felt you leaving

i have been through most

and then more

than you think

shatter me with broken words

surfacing my injured nerves

emphatic words

that of which i've heard can't break me

say you're lost i'm on my own

say what you need to me

and bring everything you know

take your place and leave mine alone

take every word

you can fake your truth i'm sure

leave you tasteless

phony

you can hate your way through war but

blame me

shatter me with broken words

surfacing my injured nerves

emphatic words

that of which i've heard can't break me

say you're lost i'm on my own

say what you need to me

and bring everything you know

take your place and leave mine alone

take every word

life can seem so long

keep you hanging on alone

life can bring you hope

keep you helpless

leave you broken

say you're lost i'm on my own

say what you need to me

and bring everything you know

take your place and leave mine alone

take every word

i have been your voice before
