Pity and Fear

I have such envy For the stranger lying next to me Who awakes in the night And slips out into the pre-dawn light With no words A clean escape No promises or messes made And chalks it all up To mistake, mistake, mistake And there are no tears Just pity and fear And a vast ravine Right in between A storm at sea The bow cracked And I was capsizing And I sunk below Where I swore I would never go If you can't stand in place You can't tell who is walking away From who remains Who stays, who stays, who stays And there are no tears Just pity and fear And a vast ravine Right in between 'Cause there are no tears Just pity and fear And I recall The push more than the fall The push more than the fall
