Still No from Glace by Desmond White

So you see yourself in my eyes
As I grow the lines on my face
As I grow the space between us
All I want is you to replace me

Now I know you're trying
And we all make bad choices
Now that moment comes

And you ask again but the answer is still no, still no
Ask again and you tell me still no, still no
Ask again and I hear those same words still no, still no
Ask again and the answer is still no, still no

And my friends they close around me
Feel how warm those old connections
Still that wind just blows right through
We break the circle, leave in all directions

And we feel it coming
All that snow and rain
And I see it all

And I realize that there's no time to waste, on you
Ask again, but the answer is still no
And after all the straight lines you traced on me
Now it's my turn to tell you please no

Now I want you
just to be here
You pretend to care

But in your eyes I see nothing glowing, for me
And in your smile I read the answer, still no
And in my wall the cracks are showing, slowly
And in the light that runs through, I see the answer
