From Where I Stand Lyrics

I can remember shouting
I can remember slamming doors
And I remember seeing signs

Holding it all inside me
Trying to read between the lines

And I can still hear the silence
We fell on the floor like heavy rain
Gutter had washed the words away

Nothing was strong enough to save me
Or wash away the stains

From where I stand
With the things I know now
They were counting the years on one hand
And counting the tears on the other

From where I stand
I could never have known
When something loves, something suffers and something dies

Then we cry

Nothing had felt so empty
Nothing had so insecure
Nothing could take me from that way

Wanting to hear your every word
Known the reason for your falling face

There was someone to hold my hand
Somebody to share my point of view
Standing beside me as we go

Aleast if I have her forever
I never have to know

From where I stand
With the things I know now
They were counting the years on one hand
And counting the tears on the other

From where I stand
I could never have known
When something loves, something suffers and something dies

Then we cry

From where I stand
With the things I know now
They were counting the years on one hand
And counting the tears on the other

From where I stand
I could never have known
When something loves, something suffers and something dies

Then we cry
