Lyrics

A MILLION QUESTIONS

Yesterday you smiled at me
I saw how we used to be
When I asked you to stay
You turned, you walked away

I look in your eyes and I see a million questions
About a love you said would never die
I lean in for a kiss and you never seem to notice
Is this real, or is it in my mind.
And feelings settle in just like a tide upon the ocean.
The waves, they knock me from my feet.
The tumble and the swirl become one with my obsession.
There?s no comfort, no sleep and no relief.

I reach out for your hand, but find you retreating
I count the days since I have seen you smile.
I bite back on my words afraid to even use them
To form questions to the answers that you provide.
And feelings settle in just like a tide upon the ocean.
The waves, they knock me from my feet.
The tumble and the swirl become one with my obsession.
There?s no comfort, no sleep and no relief.

I lie awake at night clinging to a moistened pillow.
Your gentle breathing brings me no relief.
Knowing now the time has come to take a new
Dreams cave in, there?s darkness and there?s grief
And feelings settle in just like a tide upon the ocean.
The waves, they knock me from my feet.
The tumble and the swirl become one with my obsession.
There?s no comfort, no sleep and no relief.
