Lyrics

Wishing never got us what we needed

Wishing hasn't fulfilled our needs.

So we waited for our salvation to arrive

We anticipated our rescue or deliverance.

Then it took everything that we loved

That rescue took away everything dear to us.

And it let us alive

However, it left us alive.


I hear you call

I perceive your plea or cry.

And I promise to you

I assure you

One day, some day

That someday, at some point in time,

The pain will go

The suffering will diminish or vanish.


Solitary movement meant for two

An action meant for two, undertaken alone.

Can you hear the loneliness in silent cries

Can you perceive the deep sorrow in silent expressions of distress?

If you take everything that I love

If you take away all that I cherish,

Leave me to die

Let me perish.


I hear you call

I perceive your plea or cry.

And I promise to you

I assure you

One day, some day

That someday, at some point in time,

The pain will go

The suffering will diminish or vanish.


If you take everything that I love

If you take away all that I cherish,

And you leave here,

And you depart,

Leave me alive

Let me survive or endure.

If you take everything thet I love

If you take away all that I cherish,

And I'm standing here

And I remain here,

Waiting to die

Waiting to cease existing.


I hear you call

I perceive your plea or cry.

And I promise to you

I assure you

One day, some day

That someday, at some point in time,

The pain will go

The suffering will diminish or vanish.
