“Lazy Lady”

There were so many things
That I should have said
When I finally said goodbye
But the gist of things to come
Showed me nothing could be done
To save a love that already died

And yet still it breaks my heart
To have to walk away
In the middle of such staggering pain
I would like to press you close
And offer you my coat
As shelter from the gathering rain

But that would just compound the hurt
That comes with such moments
And make it all more difficult to bear

And so I’ll walk away
And leave you alone
To seek comfort from the things you know are real
But don’t let my silence hide
The tenderness inside
That memories of you will make me feel

[break]

And so I’ll walk away
And leave you alone
To seek comfort from the things you know are real
But don’t let my silence hide
The tenderness inside
That memories of you will make me feel

Please, don’t let my silence hide
The tenderness inside
That memories of you will make me feel
