         Cadd9 
Talk was cheap

This atheist could have used confessional

Sown, so reap; allow me to lead you in devotional

I'll be your best damn friend again

verse 2 
 
Actions speak 
Louder, but only when they're spoken to 
It's not weak to remake amends the way I've chosen to 
Hide and seek 
And somewhere ahead we'll find a way to trust 
It make look bleak 
So I'll just imagine for the both of us
