lyrics

I can’t take back the words I said to you
They’re buried by the weight of too many truths
But not about you
I’m losing count of the times
And I know too well “sorry” starts to grate after a while

It feels as though I’m holding back a landslide
Just praying that the cracks don’t reach the outside
But at my most fragile all my fears and doubts, veiled by anger, will all come spilling out

But this says nothing about you
It says everything about me
This says nothing about you
It says everything about me

Me and my ragged mind have been the culprits so many times
I don’t want you to have to hold me like a knife

Cause this says nothing about you
It says everything about me
This says nothing about you
It says everything about me

Well, now the dust has cleared, can we see it for what it really is?
Amongst all the debris all I see is my own face staring back at me from every broken piece
This says nothing about you
It says everything about me

This says nothing about you
It says everything about me
This says nothing about you
It says everything about me
This says nothing about you
It says everything about me

about

Luke James Williams England, UK

Light and dark, ugly and beautiful, happy and sad, fearful and brave, the music of singer songwriter Luke James Williams reflects the opposing forces and wonderful chaos of the world around us. Combining the raw power of PJ Harvey with the delicate sensitivity of Sufjan Stevens, Williams paints pictures with words and sings them in his own distinctly British voice. ... more
