Say The Same

(album: Shine - 2009)

When I trample on my destiny
I'm cutting out the best in me
With an unskilled hand and heavy heart
Been beating back what blades won't carve

I ain't wishing to see better days
Just someone to help collect the pain
I was blind but now I surely see
Was deaf now I began to sing

And oh I can promise you that
I can make everything all right
Then we would think on all these years
We've kept up this fight
Oh I could scream until my lungs turn blue
Try to change these walls protecting you
But the ice, that runs within your veins
Won't see I've changed
Can you say the same?

Though the progress may sometimes seem slow
All these bruises make me whole
And I cannot for the life of me
Worry about the life in me
Won't you tell the kids I miss them so
And sorry I had to miss so much
Won't apologize for who I am
You're hurting me because you can

And oh I can promise you that
I can make everything all right
Then we would think on all these years
We've kept up this fight
Oh I could scream until my lungs turn blue
Try to change these walls protecting you
But the ice, that runs within your veins
Won't see I've changed
Can you say the same?
Can you say the same?
Oh, let me you say the same
Can you say the same?
