I can offer you no simple explanations
and I've given every answer that I know
it's that kind of complicated situation
where the truth is not enough to make us whole

there's a distance that can grow inside the darkness
there's a darkness that can grow inside our souls
as we move from so much love to so much heartlessness
and we come to live in fear of what we know

but I did not want to hurt you, I did not want to say
that I could no longer love you that way
with my heart and sould in tow, I told you I must go
then I left you there

there's a method to the madness you've been watching
as you analyze each step I take away
there's a knowledge that runs deep beneath the talking
and her waters will flow clear and cool one day

as we feel the anger shift and change its meaning
we can feel the pain come clean and slip away
we can see the mark of guilt is slowly fading
may we look into each other's eyes one day

'cause I did not want to hurt you, I did not want to say
that I could no longer love you that way
and with your heart and soul in tow, you had to let me go
and I left you there

I can offer you no simple explanations
and I've given every answer I can see
it's that kind of complicated situation
where the truth is not enough to set us free
