The Only Thing
by Rob
Schiffmann and Jon
Rothstein who dedicated it to Amy his significant other.
How can we
be here for each other when there's no kindness to be found?
How can we stay with one another when every silence is a sound?
Why must we tear each other down?
Why do we
want to be together when everybody falls apart?
How can we look inside each other and see the world behind the art?
Why must we tear ourselves apart
when we are...
The only
thing we have, the only thing we are,
The only thing we want to be, yes and the only thing, by far, that we are?...
Why do we
care for one another when we can be so hard to hold?
Why can't we stand beside each other and sit and watch the nights grow old?
Why
must the night bring in the cold…
when we are...when we are…
The only
thing we have, the only thing we are,
The only thing we want to be, yes and the only thing, by far, that we are?..
It was so
long ago, I still remember. We fell so long ago when we believed.
I fell too long ago, do you remember, to say, so long and watch you leave....
The only
thing we have, the only thing we are,
The only thing we want to be yes and the only thing, by far, that we are?
