You know what? You're right; it does come down to fear
The thought of an endless fight is bringing down these tears
We've been here side by side for the best part of two years
I'm keeping my head up high because my conscious is clear
Remember when we were looking up at the shine of the stars?
Isn't it sad that we never made it out of the fog?
I could have told you something
I could have tried in so many words
I think you said it best, when you said we'd be just fine
It was all one big test for our ethics and our spine
It's true that I'm content although the struggle is undefined
The money's all been spent but my truth keeps me in line
Remember when we were looking up at the shine of the stars?
Isn't it sad that we never made it out of the fog?
I could have told you something
I could have tried in so many words
I guess I always knew it was never meant to last
Your voice and your smile would become a thing of the past
I'll always keep with me your teachings and your laugh
And the good times we had from Vancouver to Halifax
Remember when we were looking up at the shine of the stars?
I could have told you something
Ain't got the time and I ain't got the words
I could have told you something
I Ain't the kind who stands on the curb
I could have told you something
I could have tried in so many words
Shining lights
