LYRICS ::

Well, there ain’t no words that can break your heart
I’ve tried many times for you to see
But every word I throw just returns to me
For you stand like a distant wall’s impart
Honey, who do you expect me to be?

As I stand protesting in the streets at night
Trying to grasp the fleeting hope
There is no sound beyond the gate
& fear is what stops me,
Honey, who do you expect me to be?

I tried reason & make my point clear
But the words fell deafly into the soft sands
No sound can drown out the meaning behind it
& you stand in the hallway waiting to turn out the light
Honey, who do you expect me to be?

I never wanted to make you run away
But the fortune teller’s river rocky road
Lies flee into the distance, down the trail & away from the debris
Left to fend for itself in the dawning darkened day
Honey, who do you expect me to be?

The trees in the forest begin to shrivel & wilt
But every day the river waters the drying woods
& the trees reach their roots down into the soil to find the nurturing
& find what they needed was there all along
Honey, who do you expect me to be?

Honey, who do you expect me to be?
Honey, who do you expect me to be?
