Absent Lyrics by False Plaintiff

Well Then, I Guess It’s Time To Move On

0

Skipping stones across our home
A heart of gold is now made of stone

But I’ll try to work this out while you take your best-known detour

Too many instances I find myself tasting concrete with my knees

I reach out for a hand that’s not there
I reach out to a father that doesn’t care

Well I’m not saying that I comprehend what this ordeal means to you but I’m just hoping that you’ll come to know that letting go won’t pull you through, or rid this troubled household of your gloom. But don’t mistaken me, this is not a state of pointing fingers now – instead I’ll pray that it dawns on you the price of what we’ve been trying so hard to keep alive

Skipping stones across our home
A parent’s love is now set in stone

But I’ll try to keep you close even though I know that I’ll be alone

Too many instances I fail to fix my eyes on the miles ahead

I reach out for a hand that’s not there
I reach out to a father that doesn’t care

If a child’s love could build a stairway and this hopeful longing could pave a lane, I would walk the path to heaven just to bring you back again

Stay

I’d give my life away if I could have you by our sides
I’d give my life away if that could mean you’d stay

And every day will end the same, because it’s me that’s afraid of change
