The Better Part Of Valor Lyrics - Singles - Houston Calls

(This) Life we've forsaken 

Not out of spite but of honesty 

Lips sealed, our tongues tied, this secret's safer than you or me 

This isn't how it should end 

Or should it end at all? 

Cause every now and again 

I wait for you to call 

I'd wait all my life for you 

Cause if this was meant to be 

Than it's all I can do 

I already know it's true 

If you still have a heart to steal 

Then I will steal it from you 

Stolen devotion 

A poor excuse to avoid your eyes 

Broken, unspoken 

Promises all amount to lies 

So where do I go from here? 

We've said our last goodbyes 

A broken smile left to roam these night skies 

I'd wait all my life for you 

Cause if this was meant to be 

Than it's all I can do 

I already know it's true 

If you still have a heart to steal 

Then I will steal it from you 

Did you ever think that we could really survive 

You said we'd last two years 

You buried us alive 

And all the softest sighs and all the lover's pleas 

They're just a postscript now wrapped in parentheses
