lyrics

I tried to hold your hand
And you put it in your pocket.
Looked you in the eye
And you looked at the carpet.
I try to understand how you're feeling,
Are you feeling nothing?
Can't you see how much I love you?

How can I know you if you won't talk to me?

You wish I weren't there
When you see me in the morning.
Say the wrong thing
And there's a crisis dawning.
Anger's in the air,
Someone tell me where it comes from.
Can't you see how much I love you?

How can I know you if you won't talk to me?
What do you have if you don't have family?

If I could read your mind,
Would I flinch at what I'd there?
Echoes of me
Yelling somewhere.
If my regrets can't find
A little purchase somewhere within you.
You can't see how much I love you.

How can I know you if you won't talk to me?
What do you have if you don't have family?

Even with a new sound, his core songwriting voice--“melodic and lyrical invention,” “chilling chord progressions,” “rare honesty and power"- remains. ... more
