Chorus (play same chorus)
Living alone, falling from grace I want to atone
but theres just empty space
can't face tomorrow now you're not coming back
walked off in the night and just left me the tracks


Bridge

I question your call by the tone of your voice
I know I should hang up but I don't have a choice
It happened that night whe you told me to go
Don't ask who's to blame I don't know.

No Picture chris Wanna Be	#1 by chris calle at Jul 14, 1974 at 2:28 AM EST
	Sadly while all these meanings are all great i know for a fact what it is about. The song is about how you everything is after you leave a seriouse relationship with soemone you loved you said all these beautiful things like you need them and yuo will always love them but after its over everything you said isnt true anymore so all yuor promises were almost honest since when you said them they were true but they arent any more but you still werent lying you were being "almost honest"

No Picture tom Average	#2 by tom jenkins at Jul 26, 1989 at 8:19 PM EST
	This song is about a guy going into the relationshp, but the girl is doing the same thing as him "When I said I loved you, you were semi sincere"
