Do you know how much that I love you?
Cause I do
But I can't recall when I last let you know
Around the fire in my throat
With each despair that I'm verbose
My reticence has found a home
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
When that's what they need to hear?
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them?
Cause I love them
When it matters most
I don't feel like I'm present
I can understand your pain
But still I'm sorry if you feel like I'm not around
I swear I try to be
But I'm sorry if you feel like I'm not around
It hurts in ways I can't explain
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
When that's what they need to hear?
Coveted verbosity is without worth if I'm replete
With nothing more than shame
When I should be imbued with rage
I pray that the impression
That I've made upon the Earth
Will be suffice to eulogize when I'm no longer here
But if it's not my only hope
Is that those that I'm survived by
Know that I've always loved them
More than I've been able to show
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
When that's what they need to hear?
What benefit is eloquence
If I can't call and tell my friends
That I love them
