Dear Reader - Elephant (Hearter) Lyrics

You couldn't stand under the weight I put on you
I understand now, it is true
I can see that there was nothing you could do
With a sorrow so loud

If I could I'd open up and let you in
But the door has no handles and
It would seem that I by now have worn you thin
My heart is so hard

The sorrow's too loud
And this heart is too hard

I only wish that you would return home to me
And I could bathe in your familiarity
But I realise this is a hopeless dream
We have travelled too far

I also wish that I might never read again
The same narrative under a different pen
But I fear this is a circle I am in
For my heart is so hard

We have travelled too far
And this heart is so hard

The sorrow's too loud
We have travelled too far
And this heart is so hard
