This Taste

Light fades in
Darkness fades out
Frustration sets in
And careless words go out

This taste on my lips
Can't be the best there is

Cause if it is, there is
No romance left in me

And there is, I know it

Just wish I could show it
But not to you, not by me
But it's out there somewhere
Out there in between...

Broken hearts & diamond rings

Are a world apart

But they are the things

Of songs we sing

Can't you even control it
Comes out like you can't hold it
But it bites, and cuts the one
You're talking to
And the one it's about

Like tender morsels
They go down
But when it's inside you
Your mind has mulled it over
Bitter is all you taste...

Broken hearts & diamond rings

Are a world apart

But they are the things

Of songs we sing

Yeah, maybe he needs to cool it
But it's not your job to talk it
To all your confidants
And anyone, and everyone
Besides the one you should

We're grown up now
And sometimes our biggest enemy
Is the one so hard to tame
Your tongue is loose
Can't you even control it?

Broken hearts & diamond rings

Are a world apart

But they are the things

Of songs we sing

Truth is better than romance
Stands a test of time
Smooth words turn bitter
When they fall on broken ears
All I know is that I'm tired...

These broken hearts & diamond rings

Are worlds apart

But they are the things

Of songs we sing

This taste is all reality now
Can't sense anything past it
But we have to forgive and let go now
If we don't then this taste
Will turn us outside-in

Worlds apart they may be
Yet these are things of songs we sing
