This Channel Lyrics

You love me for whatever I do

Your smile never turns away

But there's nothing I can do for you

No words of love to say

Though we could never be together

You're convinced it's the only option

I know the truth of this too well

But I don't quite know how to tell you

This channel, this channel

There's something I must tell you

This channel, this channel

There's something that concerns you

How must I cut this channel

Without causing you pain

This channel goes nowhere

Destined for torrential rain

How must I cut this channel

Without causing you pain

This channel goes nowhere

Destined for torrential rain

She lives in another world

A world far away from mine

But I could never tell her that

Her heart is set on me

You cannot command a heart to love

Nor can you prevent it from loving

You have little control

Quite simply I could never love her

This channel, this channel

There's something I must tell her

This channel, this channel

There's something that concerns her

How must I cut this channel

Without causing her pain

This channel goes nowhere

Destined for torrential rain

How must I cut this channel

Without causing her pain

This channel goes nowhere

Destined for torrential rain

"I don't love you" are very harsh words

Though I need to say them to you

But how can I phrase it less painfully

I don't want to see you cry

It's never quite where I'd hoped we'd be

I hate the thought of wasting your time

The river is flowing in the wrong direction

Very soon there'll be nothing but dry land

This channel, this channel

There's something I must tell you

This channel, this channel

There's something that concerns you

How must I cut this channel

Without causing you pain

This channel goes nowhere

Destined for torrential rain

How must I cut this channel

Without causing you pain

This channel goes nowhere

Destined for torrential rain
