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Why I'm so withdrawn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
I

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
Oh 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
I'm afraid there's nothing 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
