EDWIN MCCAIN LYRICS - How Can You Say That To Me

"How Can You Say That To Me"



The air that you breathe it must be poisoned

And you're dressed up in your best disguise

And 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

It's 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

Oh now 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
