what i feel
-----------

what i feel is cold confusion
what i feel is the illusion 
   that you're still here

what i feel is a misconception
what i feel is a bad complexion
   and the roughness of your reflection of me

   i feel none of this is real
   this is what i feel

what i feel is that i've lost you
what i feel is this has cost you
   much less than this has cost me

what i feel is that i'm stranded
what i feel is open-handed 
   across my face but it's my only trace of you

   i got the raw end of this deal
   this is what i feel

   bridge:
      what i feel is an unfinished letter
      starting off saying things will get better
      if we give it time to heal

      what i feel is the bond that's between us
      that sacred vow and what it should mean to us
      don't break that seal
   this is what i feel
