Silence in Between

I've come a long way since I met you in the early morning light
I'm still a fool but now I know it, I embrace my lack of insight
But I've tried to be a man, a better man than I have been
I'm sorry for the things I said and did
And now between us there's a screen
And I'm so sorry for the silence in between

I've been dishonest, I've been selfish, and I have been so afraid
I have ignored the voices deep inside, and such a price I've paid
I've stood alone when all around the world was beautiful and bright
I've carried all these dark thoughts
Through the day, I've cradled them at night
And I have been so sorry for the silence in between

I will try to be a better man, I'll try to be a man
I will speak of my confusion and do better if I can
And I will see the beauty of the silence in between

And when you come
Listen to my ravings and you know me when I'm down
You lift me up
You make the world a better place
I thank the mystery for your face
I thank you for your smile

I will try to be a better man, I'll try to be a man
I will speak of my confusion and do better if I can
I will see the good in everyone and also in myself
And I will seek the stories of my soul, these stories I will tell
And I will see the beauty of the silence in between

And I will see the beauty of the silence in between
