When to Quit

Here in the dark, I'm getting my fill

My climb back up appears one menacing hill

Don't know how I'll muster up

The will to try

Unwrapped the boxes cradling our love past

Sounded the foghorn and I lowered the mast

The waves we struck were charging in too fast

For us, for me, is this meant to be?

I don't want to break your heart

Any more than it's been broken

It was enough for you the veil I knit

But I didn't know when to quit

Innocent images of you I can't waste

They hold tight to me as an endless embrace

My loved ones tell me that time will erase

But I've hurt you and I'm so afraid

I don't want to break your heart

Any more than it's been broken

It was enough for you the veil I knit

But I didn't know when to quit

I'll think of you and smile

But it's gonna take a while

Cause I'm still not convinced

That you're not meant for me

Oh are you meant for me?

Here in the dark, I'm getting my fill

My climb back up appears one menacing hill

Don't think this feeling will vanish until

I don't know when, I don't know when
