Edwin Mccain - How Can You Say That lyrics

rate me

The air that you breathe it must be poison

And you're dressed up in your best disguise

I don't want to hear what you have to say

It's there in your eyes when you look away

These beautiful words are turning into lies

Chorus:

How can you say that to me

The light that still shines is just an illusion

Just a memory from a burned out star

Its promise has come from so far away

It's fighting through sadness and years of decay

And it's a wonder it ever made it this far

(Chorus)

After all of those secrets you let me believe

There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe

How can you say that

It's not this silence that screams in my mind

Each day I feel like I'm falling behind

Living in shadows, still getting burned

When will I ever learn

(Chorus)

After all those secrets you let me believe

There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe

How can you say that to me
