Cardiff, 2am

Cardiff, 2am

Your words were harder than the rain tonight,
the words you chose so well to say goodbye.
The lies we hold so dear no longer white.

Again, my trust misplaced: another fight,
a hurried hug, a cigarette, a sigh.
Your words were harder than the rain tonight.

And love could never change us, but it might
and we will stay together, if we try?
The lies we hold so dear no longer white.

Tomorrow's sun should shed a different light
and show that there are cracks in every lie.
Your words were harder than the rain tonight.

I could have made you stay, but you were right,
and pain is not a thing we can defy,
the lies we hold so dear no longer white.

And so you walked away and out of sight,
I couldn't watch you go, I couldn't cry.
Your words were harder than the rain tonight,
the lies we hold so dear no longer white.
