I've come to you from broken things
I've crawled to you on my hands and knees
I've sailed to you across the seven seas
If only to hear you say my name
I've come to you from broken times
I've shown you my face with no disguise
My memory's a mirror without eyes
If only to take away your pain
If only to take away your pain
If only to hear you say my name
Hear the whisper of the rising wind
Empty and so cold, too dark for the birds to fly
And they're lined up on the wall
And as I'm walking by, they scatter and take off
I watch them as they rise into the sun
If only you believed you were the one
When the day is new, the light is born
Upon the bed, the curtain's drawn
Shadows forming, falling just behind
If only to hear you say my name


Suddenly you believed all of my lies
Hanging in my heart just like a flag
Wet and lazy in the wind, the colors set
As the clouds go rolling off the hill
Can't tell where the roof's beginning
No more will I know my home again
Hear the whisper of the rising wind
Empty and so cold, too dark for the birds to fly in
They're lined up on the wall
Can't tell where the roof's beginning

As I'm walking by, they scatter and take off
I watch them as they rise into the sun
If only you believed you were the one
If only you believed you were the one
If only you believed you were the one
If only you believed you were the one
