A Story To Tell

You left and took the best of me
But I can't find the words I want to speak
Yeah I can't speak
Cause silence says it better
And never is forever to me
Yeah to me

So bite your tongue
And hope to God she's listening
If the world's coming down today
Well I bet that she would be the first to go

Take your heart and run
She said she'll never leave
But that's just the way the story goes
You hope and pray
Now you're all alone
And I don't want to know
When you're not coming home
Just take my heart and go
And then leave me alone

You left and took the rest of me
But lost your heart at the bottom of the sea
Yeah I can't speak
Cause silence says it better
And never is forever to me
Yeah to me

And I'm so tired of holding this in
If I can't get this off of my chest
I guess I'll see you again
I'm sick and tired of being your friend
If I can't get this out of my head
You'll never see me again

So bite your tongue
And hope to God she's listening
If the world's coming down today
Well I bet that she would be the first to go

Take your heart and run
She said she'll never leave
But that's just the way the story goes
You hope and pray
Now you're all alone
And I don't want to know
When you're not coming home
Just take my heart and go
And then leave me alone
