If I Could Have Held You

If I could have held you 
 lay waste to these tricky words
instead of a tearful smile 
it would have been more honest; 

Lay waste to these tricky words, 
there would be no way to top that; 
It would have been more honest; 
The silence is all that makes sense; 

There would be no way to top that;
instead of a tearful smile
the silence is all that makes sense, 
if I could have held you.
