How Could I? - Oleander

Memories and silence fills each room

Overwhelming heavy as the tidal waves consume

Buried underneath the dust & gloom

Relics are reminders of my family of two

Pictures of a happy bride and groom

Ferry rides around the harbor on our honeymoon

Wedding gifts of pots and pans

Sleeping while were holding hands

It’s grace he lays upon us as we spoon

How could I ever be so blind that I could not see

How could I ever stray from what has meant so much to me

How could I ever gain her trust without the guarantees

Of who I am or where I’ll be

So now we live in fear of the unknown

Insecure and skepticle her trust in me is blown

Despite the past we face we both have grown

Through the pain to find the strength together or alone

How could I ever be so blind that I could not see

How could I ever stray from what has meant so much to me

How could I ever gain her trust without the guarantees

Of who I am or where I’ll be

How could I ever be so blind that I could not see

How could I ever stray from what has meant so much to me

How could I ever gain her trust without the guarantees

Of who I am or where I’ll be
