Try To Write You A Love Song

Whoever said that words don't hurt
Never talked to me
You ask me while we settle in the cab
"Why you have to be so mean?"
The night was almost over
Before we even got in the car
Nineteen blocks down broadway
Has never felt this far

Sometimes when I speak the words come out wrong
I'm thinking pretty soon you're going to want me gone
But I know it's in your heart that I belong
So I'll keep my mouth shut
And try and write you a love song

Walk in all eyes are upon us
Soft murmurs and some wine
Some quick hellos, you look great, and how you've been
Man it's been a long, long time
Cozy up to some friends and conversation
Share a laugh or two
I guess I must have let some words slip away
That creeped on over and offended you

Chorus

I've never had the words to say
How I feel about you today

Solo

I've lost count of all the times you've said
You just don't understand me
And if you listen through the aftermath
You swear you hear love tearing at the seams

Chorus
