Feist

I used to think silence meant peace
That distance was just release
But time doesn’t heal what you ignore
It just waits behind the door
I believed in what you said
Even when it bent my head
I took your words like gospel lines
And paid the price in borrowed time
You smiled like nothing was wrong
But your truth was never strong
I gave you grace, I gave you space
But you filled it with another face
Took a long time to understand
That love can slip right through your hand
Took a long time to see the cost
Of holding on to what was lost
Took a long time, but now I know
You can’t build truth on what won’t grow
I wore the blame like a second skin
Thought if I changed, you’d let me in
But you were gone before the fight
Just a shadow dressed in light
I begged the stars to make it right
But they don’t shine for borrowed night
I learned too late, I learned too slow
That love won’t stay where lies still grow
I gave you years, I gave you grace
You gave me silence, gave me space
But space don’t heal, it just divides
And truth don’t live where ego hides
I built a home on shifting sand
And called it love, and called it grand
But now I see the cracks, the cost
The vows we made, the ones you lost
Took a long time to understand
That love can slip right through your hand
Took a long time to see the cost
Of holding on to what was lost
Took a long time, but now I know
You can’t build truth on what won’t grow
Took a long time
Took a long time
Took a long time
To understand
Took a long time
Took a long time
To understand
