The Better Part of Valor - Houston Calls

Not out of spite but of honesty

Lips sealed, our tongues tied, this secret’s safer than you or me

This isn’t how it should end

Or should it end at all?

Cause every now and again

I wait for you to call

I’d wait all my life for you

Cause if this was meant to be

Than it’s all I can do

I already know it’s true

If you still have a heart to steal

Then I will steal it from you

Stolen devotion

A poor excuse to avoid your eyes

Broken, unspoken

Promises all amount to lies

So where do I go from here?

We’ve said our last goodbyes

A broken smile left to roam these night skies

I’d wait all my life for you

Cause if this was meant to be

Than it’s all I can do

I already know it’s true

If you still have a heart to steal

Then I will steal it from you

Did you ever think that we could really survive

You said we’d last two years

You buried us alive

And all the softest sighs and all the lover’s pleas

They’re just a postscript now wrapped in parentheses
