Where are these words going?

When you speak all I can hear

Is a louder kind of silence,

And a dried up kind of tear

You can't hurt me in the morning

Cause I'm leaving you behind

When we walk this road together

We'll both understand in time

This is where our lives are headed

While your on your way past hell

I'll be waiting at the steeple

Where the priest will ring the bell

You can't hurt me in the evening

Cause when night falls I'm alone

When I wake up I'll be better

When you wake up you'll be gone.
