歌詞

I was not hurt

By what you said

The room was quiet

The answer slept

I held my breath

For something plain

A yes, a no

A shape of pain

Nothing arrived

But I got tired

Before the truth

Before the fire

Waiting does the damage

Slow and clean

No open wound

But I still bleed

Waiting does the damage

Hour by hour

The answer waits

I lose the power

I met the worst

Before it came

Gave it a face

Gave it my name

I watched the door

I watched the light

Made one more fear

Out of the night

Nothing arrived

But I went through

A hundred ends

Before the news

Waiting does the damage

Slow and clean

No open wound

But I still bleed

Waiting does the damage

Hour by hour

The answer waits

I lose the power

Tell me the line

I have to cross

Tell me the thing

I have to lose

I can take pain

If it is true

But not this room

I disappear through

Waiting does the damage

Soft and deep

No final word

But I can’t sleep

Waiting does the damage

I understand

The answer came late

The hurt began
