Alabaster Love

We fell holding each other
Falling like lovers
Into the unknown
We lived without ever needing
Like the air you were breathing
Was pulled from my lungs

We kept them so close
The secrets we told in the dark
When the garden was new
Cause everything blooms at the start

We carved our names in stone
This alabaster of love
Was just too much to hold
We were never enough
Is it ever enough

Sunlight spilled into morning
Without any warning
We saw it all
All the thin lines
That say something's broken
Doesn't need to be spoken
To know something's wrong

Sometimes the talking
Is just trying to fill up the space
But when it gets quiet
How do you know what to save

We carved our names in stone
This alabaster of love
Was just too much to hold
We were never enough
Is it ever enough

We kept them so close
The secrets we told in the dark
When the garden was new
Cause everything blooms at the start

We carved our names in stone
This alabaster of love
Was just too much to hold
We were never enough
Is it ever enough
Was it ever enough
