I May Never Know

In this old message you're alive
The jokes, the laughter, and the lies
If I'd said something true and wise
Could I have saved you?
Now I
May never know
There's a flaming sword that bars my way
Back to what it was; to those kids at play
Could that memory have birthed the words to say
That would have healed you?
Now I
May never know
And now I'll cry
That's all I can do for now, and so
I will cry
Because I
May never know
We can die before we're dead
Form fossil hearts as hard as lead
Did I feed the thing I came to dread?
Should I have starved you?
Now I
May never know
The night's a tyrant, the day's a thief
Stealing all but the weight of grief
Was this the only way that peace
Could embrace you?
Now I
May never know
And now I'll cry
That's all I can do for now, and so
I will cry
Because I
May never know
Because I
May never know
Because I
May never know
May never know
