From Where I Stand

I can remember shouting I can remember slamming doors And remember seeing signs Holding it all inside me Trying to read between the lines And I can still hear the silence It fell on the floor like heavy rain God let it wash the words away Nothing was strong enough to save me Or wash away the stains From where I stand With the things I know now They were counting the years on one hand And they're counting the tears on the other From where I stand I could never have known When something loves Something sufferers And something dies Then we cry Nothing had felt so empty Nothing had felt so insecure Nothing could take me from that place Wanting to hear your every word And know the reason for your fallen face There was someone to hold my hand Somebody to share my point of view Standing beside me as we go At least if I have that forever I'll never have to know From where I stand With the things I know now They were counting the years on one hand And they're counting the tears on the other From where I stand I could never have known When something loves Something sufferers And something dies Then we cry From where I stand with the things I know now They were counting the years on one hand And they're counting the tears on the other From where I stand I could never have known When something loves Something sufferers And something dies Then we cry
