Lucy

Lucy, I'm waiting for a chance to leave
Lucy, I'm looking for a brand new start
I recognize I'm not the man you need, so
Lucy, I'm sorry about your broken heart

I never meant to hurt a girl like you
I made empty promises I couldn't keep
This time I swear that every word is true
I wish I could tell you, but you're fast asleep

While your eyes are closed my mind is turning
I get like this every time
I get too close to where I'm going
Just like that, I change my mind

Too many lovers on the TV screen say
"Darling, I love you," when the lights go dark
I understand its just a young girl's dream, but
Lucy, I'm sorry about your broken heart

Well, you'll say I won't do any better
I don't think I could feel much worse
But keep your eyes closed, keep your life
Where every moment feels rehearsed

Lucy, I'm sorry, but our time is up
You tried to keep me, but I played my part
I'll tape a letter to the TV screen, saying
Lucy, I'm sorry about your broken heart
