For a While

Leaving it all unsaid

Keeping it quiet instead

You know that I won't explain

'Cause I've grown to need this pain

You tell me it's good for now

I'll heal but I don't know how

Safe in the way we touch

But it hurts to feel this much

And they say that it goes

So I hope that it shows

You are all that I've known for a while

And I'm coming up slow

And I'm thinking of home

But you're all that I've known for a while

Spending our nights awake

Silent for both our sake

Hold me until I'm strong

'Cause I'll miss this when you're gone

And they say that it goes

So I hope that it shows

You are all that I've known for a while

And I'm coming up slow

And I'm thinking of home

But you're all that I've known for a while

I'd tell you but I can't

Please don't make this hard

Time is all I want

So speak the words I won't

And they say that it goes

So I hope that it shows

(Ooh-ooh)

You are all that I've known for a while

And I'm coming up slow

And I'm thinking of home

(Ooh-ooh)

But you're all that I've known for a while
