Nothing's been said, nothing's been done It's hard to see a difference between the rising and setting sun But I can feel a change it's there in her touch It's suttle but it's deep and it hurts us both so much Me because I'm losing her and her because she feels She's honor bound, bound by promise that she made so long ago But I love her so much that I can't let her know I know Oh I know her pure heart made that promise Honestly, oh but how long can her honor keep her bound to me She's trying so hard, but it's taking it's toll Trying to keep her heart warm with a love slowly growing cold But who knows what is right when everything's wrong No matter what I do now it won't matter when she's gone But I how long can I keep holding her when she's only holding me She's honor bound, bound by promise that she made so long ago But I love her so much that I can't let her know I know Oh I know her pure heart made that promise Honestly, oh but how long can her honor keep her bound to me Nothing's been said, nothing's been done It's hard to see a difference between the rising and the setting sun
