The Special Two

Album: The Sound Of White (2004)

  • I've hardly been outside my room in days
    'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine rays
    The Darkness helped until the whiskey wore away
    And it was then I realized the conscience that never fades

    When you're young you have this image of your life
    That you'd be scrupulous and one day even make a wife
    And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross
    And if you happen to you wake completely lost

    But I will fight for you
    Be sure that I will fight
    Until we're the special two
    Once Again

    [Chorus]
    And we will only need each other
    We'll bleed together
    Our hands will not be taught to hold another's
    'Cause we're the special two
    And we can only see each other
    We'll breathe together
    These arms will not be taught to need another's
    'Cause we're the special two

    I remember someone old once said to me
    That lies will lock you up with truth the only key
    But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell
    And couldn't see this place could soon become my hell

    So is it better to tell and hurt
    Or lie to save their face
    Well I guess the answer is
    Don't do it in the first place

    I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now
    But if by chance you change your mind
    You know I will not let you down
    'cause we were the special two and we'll be again

    [Chorus]

    I step outside my minds eyes for a minute
    And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease or someone that could ease the pain
    But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself
    Just remembering, just remembering how we were
