If there's nothing to say let's say that's okay for a while
Clearing our heads, catching our breath, catching up for a time
We stood no chance as the avalanche swept on through
All that remained was never the same for me or for you
If you can't say a prayer
And all you can give me is nothing but air
If you can't pretend
That we're in the middle instead of the end
Just say amen
Just say amen
If there's nothing to do for me or for you that's alright
If there's nothing to save or left to betray then do what you like
If it's stuck on your tongue
Or the sum of it all took the breath from your lungs
Say what you please
While you stand on your feet and I'm down on my knees
If you can't say a prayer
And all you can give me is nothing but air
If you can't pretend
That we're in the middle instead of the end
Just say amen
Just say amen
I've learned to lie to 'Are you alright?' when I'm asked
They all believe that piece by piece I am falling apart
If you can't say a prayer
And all you can give me is nothing but air
If you can't pretend
That we're in the middle instead of the end
Just say amen
Just say amen
