Communication

Communication is the key to every great relationship; from simple friendship to passionate love. Yet, we often get lost in the dark, and even when we do shine a light on our deep-seated issues, other issues are lost in the shadows cast. It seems an endless endeavour to correct them all. Perhaps they will never be, and aren’t meant to be, illuminated by the light of communication.

You always give it your best shot

But you never put it away

You never know how to say

How you feel

You say it’s the truth but I know that it’s not

Your feelings are caught up in thoughts

You’re being honest and it’s not your fault

You’re being real

And it’s just so hard

Communication, this light in the dark

Illuminates the big things, but casts shadows

And these shadows grow

They tear us apart

And suffocate the reasons for being together

And it’s just so hard

If you could just leave it to me

I’d tell you how to be

We’d love each other perfectly

But that’s silly

But seriously, it’s confusing me

I want it easy, please

But it’s just so hard

Communication, this light in the dark

Illuminates the big things, but casts shadows

And these shadows grow

They tear us apart

And suffocate the reasons for being together

And it’s just so hard

We try try try to say what we mean

Try try try to get what we need

Lost inside the shadows we cast

Lost behind the hurt in the past

And it’s just so hard

Communication, this light in the dark

Illuminates the big things, but casts shadows

And these shadows grow

They tear us apart

And suffocate the reasons for being together

Are we stayin’ together?

And it’s just so hard
