Somewhere along the way
We let ourselves
Get in the way
Forgetting the words
That I needed you to say

So silence beats
Against empty sheets
Like waves against the sand
To remind us
Of what we once had

I couldn't have loved you more
I couldn't have been what you always wanted
I gave all I had to you
I don't know what else to do
Nothing makes sense without you
But nothing is right by your side
Anymore

And you'll look back
And wonder what we were
And I'll look back
And wonder where the years went
Written on our baby's face
All of the tears
All of the pain

So silence beats
Against empty sheets
Like waves against the sand
To remind us
Of what we once had

I couldn't have loved you more
I couldn't have been what you always wanted
I gave all I had to you
I don't know what else to do
Nothing makes sense without you
But nothing is right by your side Anymore

This marks the end
We can't pretend
That love is enough
To hold us together

So silence beats
Against empty sheets
Like waves against the sand
To remind us
Of what we once had

I know we made promises
I vowed my heart to you
Forever were words we said
But even forever
Has an end
A song I wrote about my sisters divorce...
