Words I Used

Tell me on the phone you know

Where my heart's gone

Why I'm so withdrawn

Every word is more obscure

To my heart's song

And I can't hold on

'Cause yesterday, I wrote a little tune

I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used

I'm sorry, but it's been weighing on me

No, I can't lie when I sing

No, I can't lie when I sing

'Cause my dear

There's nothing left in here

So just hold on

But don't hold onto me

Tried my best this time

To keep your hand in mine

But it's written out and I'm ripping out the page

And you fantasize

Of chasing lights

But you won't get far with half your heart at sea

New York's callin' for you, darlin'

So pack your bags, don't throw it all away

You know I'm fallin' for you, darlin'

And I'm afraid there's no more room to stay, stay

I'm afraid there's nothin' left to say

I still wait for you to call

Though I told you that we shouldn't speak outside normal protocol

How could you give me your all?

Why should you wait for me at all

'Cause yesterday, I wrote a little tune

I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used

I'm sorry, but it's been weighing on me

No, I can't lie when I sing

No, I can't lie
