It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were
And her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present
To drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you
Walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

So, tell me now
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said: I don't hate you, boy
I just wanna save you while there's still something left to save
(Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh) that's when I told her: I love you, girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have
Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh

And the day pressed on like crushing weights, for no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dyin' days that deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand, uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand, now do you understand?

So, tell me now
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said: I don't hate you, boy
I just wanna save you while there's still something left to save
(Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh) that's when I told her: I love you, girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have
Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh

One thousand miles away, there's nothing left to say
But so much left that I don't know
(Ooh) we never had a choice, this world is too much noise
It takes me under, it takes me under once again

I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no

So, tell me now
If this ain't love, then how do we get out?
'Cause I don't know

That's when she said: I don't hate you, boy
I just wanna save you while there's still something left to save
(Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh) that's when I told her: I love you, girl
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have
Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh

I don't hate you
I don't hate you (woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh)
I don't hate you
I don't hate you, no
Woah-oh-oh-woah, woah-oh-oh-oh
