lyrics

Lyrics By: R. Carroll

Your faces
Were painted in my mind so vividly
I knew them better than my own
Our laughter
Echoed for years and years
I thought that it would never end
Time goes by...
And I must have made decisions that helped the universe tear our lives apart
Now faded...
These pictures of your smiles are just memories
that soon will all but disappear
They look like big, good, strong hands, don’t they ?
That's what I always thought they were
Perhaps if I had not just resigned to my fate
My friends would not have slipped away
Now you're gone...
And there’s nobody here left to tell me that I shouldn’t blame this all on myself
I’ll just sit here
Staring at these empty hands and the nothing that is now my life
They look like big, good, strong hands, don’t they?
That's what I always thought they were
Perhaps if I had not just resigned to my fate
My friends would not have slipped away
They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they?
My grip was weak, just like my heart
And if I had not failed you so completely
My friends might still be here today
