There are lessons I can't learn
The touch of cold things burn
You've taught me well.
I wish you'd left my head
Before the words had fled
And left the swell
I always think I know you're kind
It's a trick of hopeful minds
That says you want to stay
But if you want nothing more
I'll trip across your floor
And walk the other way
Cause I'll choose nothing
And I know that I'll lose nothing
Cause in the, the blink and flow of time
I'll know that I threw nothing.
Before the sky was blue
There was someone else who knew
Your song too well.
But I, I never saw more trace
Than the shadow across your face
And would you burn my picture as well
I always think I know you're kind
It's a trick of hopeful minds
That says you want to stay
But if you want nothing more
I'll trip across your floor
And walk the other way...
Cause I'll choose nothing
And I know that I'll lose nothing
Cause in the, the blink and flow of time
I'll know, that I threw nothing
Nothing, no
Nothing, no
Nothing, nothing, no
Nothing, nothing, no
