Pale Love

(album: If You Were For Me - 2006)

It is hard to hear what you're saying
It is not because it's not loud
It's cause I know the truth remaining
And I'm not proud

I look to you to make me work harder
Now you have given up
I think fear, time and pale love have you faded
And not sure what you're sure of

Pale love is loose around the seams
Pale love is quiet then it screams
Pale love covers over dreams
It pushes and it shoves
It's the worst thing I can think of

You deserve a heart that's bright red
A home and an open road
You deserve to live until you're dead
If this is the only thing you know

If you're looking for a pretty picture look at her
If you want to live the truth look at me
Pretty soon all these big things won't matter
And you'll see your ghosts retreating

Showing you real love is lighter than air
Real love won't deny that it is there
Real love rises above, it's what you and I are made of
It is the calm within your heart
And it won't keep us apart
It's the way it's supposed to start
Real love

Cause pale love
Is the worst thing I can think of
