Words

We're hanging in the balance
Caught up in the silence
Somewhere between the feelings
And the meaning of them all

I'm trying to be patient
Searching for the perfect phrase
Just to sort these feelings out
I will try to write them down

But the words won't begin to convey
All the love my heart is still learning to say
No, the words chase the meaning away
But my love will stay

So I will hold you closer
Try to let the tears flow
When the stream of consciousness
Is running dry again

And somewhere in the silence
We will find the balance
So nothing can come between us
We'll build a bridge that we can touch

When the words don't begin to convey
All the love my heart is still learning to say
No, the words chase the meaning away
But my love remains

Oh, the words won't begin to convey
All the love my heart is still learning to say
No, the words chase the meaning away
But my love, but my love, I'll stay
