1000 Words FFX2-Mix
I know
that you're hiding things
Using
gentle words to shelter me
Your
words were like a dream
But
dreams could never fool me
Not
that easily
She could hear the rain falling, as it hit the ground. Thunder and lightning followed not too far behind. She rested her head against the window, drowning in the noise around her. Behind her, he was packing. He was going out there. Out there to help.
I acted
so distant then
Didn't
say goodbye before you left
But I
was listening:
You'll
fight your battles far from me...
Far too
easily
He approached her, but she ignored him. She didn't want him to go. He reached out for her hand, but she shook it off. He went back to packing. She knew he had made up his mind. She knew that once he was out there, he may never return.
"Save
your tears 'cause I'll come back."
I could
hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But
still I swore
To hide
the pain.
When I
turned back the pages:
Shouting
might have been the answer...
What if
I'd cried my eyes out, and begged you not to depart?
But now
I'm not afraid
To say
what's in my heart
Tears began to stream down her face. He said his finale words and left. She heard the door closed. She couldn't show how she really felt. Not yet, anyway. He had left something on the bed. She stared at it warily before picking it up. It was a letter.
'Cause
a thousand words
Call
out through the ages
They'll
fly to you
Even
though I can't see, I know they're reaching you
Suspended
on silver wings
She could hear guns shots. Jets going down. The sounds of war. They were in hiding now. Behind her, women and children cowered in fear. Still, she couldn't show she felt. Not when the people needed her. She remembered meeting a wounded soldier who knew him. She sent out a message for him, when the wounded soldier was ready to return to battle.
Oh, a
thousand words
One
thousand embraces
Will
cradle you
Making
all of your weary days seem far away
They'll
hold you forever
It was over. Everything had ended. They crept out to a deserted and destroyed city they once called home. Slowly, one by one people headed to their homes. Their destroyed homes. Crying could be heard. Women crying over the dead bodies of their loved ones. She watched, still hiding the pain she felt, as they cradled the bodies, as if their life depended on it.
Oh, a
thousand words
Have
never been spoken
They'll
fly to you
They'll
carry you home, and back into my arms
Suspended
on silver wings
She stonily stood still, as names were read. Names of those who had died. She waited, and waited for his named to be called. She felt a cold chill, as his name was read out. Beside her, her father held her close. As if protecting her from the real world. Something he did, before it all happened.
And a
thousand words
Call
out through the ages
They'll
cradle you
Turning
all of the lonely years to only days
They'll
hold you forever
She hugged herself, as she stood in front of the grey stone. He was gone, leaving her alone. Tears swelled up in her eyes, as she placed a single white rose on his grave. a warm wind blew by, she looked around, as if feeling the presence of something… someone familiar. In front of her, to her surprise sat an envelope. Something that wasn't there before. She picked it up, recognising the writing. She brought it to her chest and smiled.
A thousand words...
