I Don't Know Those Words

I DON’T KNOW THOSE WORDS
by R.D. Snow (c. 2008)

What language are they speaking?
I don't know those words
I see their mouths are moving
And their feelings are hurt

They're telling me it's over
I don't know those words
My legs won't let me leave
Without answers

Under a passing cloud, over an uncrossed river
As it all turns out, on this unknown path
There's a new life that I must learn
Why...(In the only world I see)
Why...(Is the only word I breathe)

What story am I reading?
I don't know those words
My memory still holds her
Like a page that won't turn

The "summer breeze" just "whispered"
But I don't know those words
Cause all I hear is thunder
As the crushing pain returns!

Under a passing cloud, over an uncrossed river
As it all turns out, on this unknown path
There's a new life that I must learn
Why...(In the only world I see)
Why...(Is the only word I breathe)

Over the years the trees have stopped swaying
The best memories were just pretend
I still wonder if I could have saved her
No, I don’t know if I could save her
Oh, I’m lost without the wind
And I don't know those words
No, I don't know those words!

Why...(In the only world I see)
Why...(Is the only word I breathe)

Why...(In the only world I see)
Why...(Is the only word I breathe)
