Verse 2:
Each time you see me
You must be thinking, "here comes a bad scene"
But if you could just be me
Then you'd know what I mean
When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry
When I keep hoping it's not over and done [45: yeah LP: no!]
When I keep trying to tell you I'm sorry
It's on the tip of my tongue
Bridge:
C
What is it you want me to do
Am
Do I have to come out and spell it for you

Wanting to hear words that I just can't say
