If I Could Love You Lyrics

Silence sits between us
like a stranger
Throwing caution to the wind
We are
looking in the same direction
But I'm afraid
your heart is looking
Another way

The river has all but dried up now
But I will always feel it there
I'll always hear it flicker in my prayer
I paint it red
I'll paint in white
i won't give up this fight
if i could love you
one more time
i would love you right
it's not deliberate
but we went wrong
i got used to feeling nothing
til you came along

now i'm begging you
drop your guard
take all of our mistakes
and bury them in the yard
