about

lyrics

Why do you laugh when I say I love you?
I gave you my best
Is my best not enough for you?
Why do you laugh when I say I love you?
I gave you my heart
And that's that best I can do

I said I'll write you, write you, write you a song
If you say you'll love me, love me, love me a long time
I've been sleeping all my nights alone
Waiting for someone to hear my song

Why do you smile when I cry?
These tears taste better
Than blood or wine
Why do you smile when I cry?
These tears are to let you know
I want your heart to bleed into mine
I said I'll write you, write you, write you a song
If you say you'll love me, love me, love me a long time
I've been sleeping all my nights alone
Waiting for someone to hear my song

Why do you run when I call
And leave me screaming
Till I can't speak at all?
Why do you run when I call?
Is it my voice
That you can't stand at all?

I said I'll write you, write you, write you a song
If you say you'll love me, love me, love me a long time
I've been sleeping all my nights alone
Waiting for someone to hear my song
