You don't tell me, we don't talk no more
Feels like a lifetime on an endless chore
I had it coming, I could tell by the guilt that she wore
If there were noises late at night coming from my door

You won't be knockin' to that sound no more
We have a chance and a plan to restore
You scraped this body down to its core
You had me hearing voices that were loud as a war

You were the face that would come tumblin' down with it all
We took a corner 'round an unknown ridge
A conversation by the unused bridge
You had no face at all, I had to dig a hole or swim

And now I just won't fight, I ain't gonna battle no more
I have tried to weather that storm
Now it's calm and it's clear but it's never gone

Did you ever have a moment of doubt
I'm living here alone and this is still a crowd
I'll never work you out
How can I forgive, now I have to live without

I was looking back at every face in the street
Screaming at the shadows with a howl of defeat
I admit, I had some trouble keeping my feelings discreet
And now the memory I keep, well, it's not one I've shown

It creeps like a fever and it bleeds on its own
And what has died here, may sleep
Better if it's left alone

And now I just won't fight, I ain't gonna battle no more
No, I just won't fight, I ain't gonna battle no more
I have tried to weather that storm
Now it's calm and it's clear but it's never gone
