Silvertooth

There’s a gulf that widens between us lLike the San Andreas Fault
I see you standin’ on one side 
but I can’t find my way there from the other
And I don’t know what can be done bBut I won’t rest until it’s done
‘Cause I’ve given you my heart
 and I don’t want it back

Sometimes you just won’t listen
 sometimes it’s me just holdin’ my ears
Some nights I don’t get to hold you
 and those nights they feel like years
The love is there, I’ve seen it before
 I just wish I could see it now

Baby it hurts when I don’t get to hold you
Sometimes I cry when I feel you don’t care
I know the words I may choose cut like a knife
And sometimes the wounds are left to bleed

You have been been given to me
 and I don’t always appreciate
You wondrous beauty before me
 and you don’t recognize me as fate
But when the wounds are healed we’ll see each other
 in a new and wondrous light

Baby it hurts when I don’t get to hold you
Sometimes I cry when I feel you don’t care
I know the words I may choose cut like a knife
And sometimes the wounds are left to bleed

I love you more and more with each passing day
My heart’s desire is to be in your embrace
I’ve thought about us time and again
I give you my heart again in the end

There’s a gulf that widens between us
 like the San Andreas Fault
I see you standing on one side
 but I can’t find my way there from the other
But there’s nothing that can be done
 the battle’s already been won
‘Cause God’s gift to us is each other and He’s not gonna take it back
