Things She Said Lyrics

Grey is not the color I expected

On someone who is often touched by grace

The eyes that hold the promise of perfection

Will find the flaw that no one can erase

And though she hears the rumours of intention

And many times I've failed to hide my stare

She will not breach a hint of indecision

She will not ever bend to show her care



Chorus:



Things she said

Every other daystore promise

Things she said would leave me wanting

Run to her then run from other

Things she said

Broke me down and left me shattered

Hard as diamonds...It does not matter

Won't remember the things she said



Today I saw her face in all the papers

A smile to empty out a lion's cage

But notes that might remind her what that smile was for

Are scribbled on a long-forgotten page



Chorus



The choice she never made

The face she never saved

The words she would not say

The lives she threw away

And the things she said



So grey is not the color I expected

On one who is so often touched by grace

But always she's the spectre of uncertainty

I first endure, then pity, then embrace



Chorus
