It Don't Heal Clean Songtext

There's a kind of stare that catches you when
You drop your guard enough to let someone in
and the kind of eyes that make you so gentle, no tease
You want so much to believe

So many nights I'm sure you remember
When you held me close and it felt like forever
There's a kind of right that feels so right
'Til it's so wrong, wrong, wrong

Like the darkest night when I just can't see
Like a gunman's sights, set right on me
Like the sharpest knife - and it cuts so deep
That it don't heal clean

There's a kind of fate that plays every side
First it looks to the left, then it nods to the right
When you're not dead sure then it's talk and
Oh that's so cheap but it sounded real good to me then
Didn't I once say we were like a dream?
The kind that starts in a whisper and ends in a scream
Well I guess it's dawn and I feel half dead
but I go on and on and on…

If I said I want, would you say "you don't"
If I said I will, would you say "you won't"
When you walked away if I'd let you know
That I can't let go
That I can't let go
and it don't heal clean

Could spend all night
talking to you
