words seem so useless now
tools that can't get the job done
words can't express what i'm thinking
they can't come close to the grief
that this is causing you

let us keep our voices low
you need not say a word 'cause i know
it's okay if you want to just stay still
tell me to stay here and i will

the words i piece together
inside my mind, cannot compare
to what i wish i could share with you
i want to be there and comfort you
but i feel i'm just in the way

let us keep our voices low
you need not say a word 'cause i know
it's okay if you want to just stay still
tell me to stay here and i will

i wish i could give you more than a minimal
amount of comfort but i fear i'm falling short
i'm sorry...
you ll never know, but you already do
