It kills me not to know this but Ive 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 Im constantly failing you
Walls that we just cant break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this aint love then how do we get out?
Cause I dont know

Thats when she said, "I dont hate you, boy.
I just want to save you while theres still something left to save."
Thats when I told her, "I love you, girl,
But Im not the answer for the questions that you still have."

And the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying 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 aint love then how do we get out?
Cause I dont know
Thats when she said "I dont hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while theres still something left to save"
Thats when I told her "I love you, girl,
But Im not the answer for the questions that you still have"

One thousand miles away
Theres nothing left to say
But so much left that I dont know
We never had a choice
This world has too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I dont hate you
I dont hate you, no

So tell me now
If this aint love then how do we get out?
Cause I dont know
Thats when she said "I dont hate you, boy,
I just want to save you while theres still something left to save"
Thats when I told her "I love you, girl,
But Im not the answer for the questions that you still have"

I dont hate you
I dont hate you
I dont hate you
I dont hate you, no
