but even if you answer, I know your not home.
It sounds like your voice on the other end,
But it�s not the person that I used to call my friend.
We talk bout the weather; and we talk about the war,
but both of us know that�s not what I called for.
You must know what�s coming, must�ve seen the clues,

but I didn�t need to, I know you too well.
They washed off your cheeks and hoped to erase
all the pain that I caused you as they fell.
Do u realize that this is the end?
I guess you don�t- you just try to pretend
that your fears and reality did not just collide,
but there�s pain in your voice that you just cannot hide.
I couldn't hear the tears as they ran down your face,
but I didn't need to, I know you too well.
They washed of your cheeks and hoped to erase
all the pain that I caused you as they fell

The words are smeared: the ones you cried as you wrote.
I couldn't see the tears as they ran down your face,
but I didn't need to, I know you too well.
They washed of your cheeks and hoped to erase
all the pain that I caused you as they fell
