How can I know

How can I see it through your eyes

Now you know

All those promises were lies

You close your eyes

You close your mind

To all you lost

I count the days

I count the ways

I count the cost

All that you are - no conscience

All you believe - no crime

All that you take - no reason

All that you leave - no rhyme

All that you lose - no sorrow

All that you find - no shame

Can't take away the scar you left behind

How do you cry

When you've run right out of tears

You justify

But the pain won't disappear

I count the days

I count the ways

I count the cost

All that you are - no conscience

All you believe - no crime

All that you take - no reason

All that you leave - no rhyme

All that you lose - no sorrow

All that you find - no shame

Can't take away the scar you left

You close your eyes

You close your mind

To all you lost

I count the days

I count the ways

I count the cost

All that you are - no conscience

All you believe - no crime

All that you take - no reason

All that you leave - no rhyme

All that you lose - no sorrow

All that you find - no shame

Can't take away the scar you left behind
