i never knew what was in your head
we never really shared your bed
you got your side, i got mine

you never let me see inside
you never had that much to hide
is that what you were afraid i'd find?

say the words and let me sleep
make a promise you can keep
don't make me lie awake and dream of saying what you mean
(repeat)

you never said too much to me
was it beneath your dignity
to stand and look me in the eye

did not include me in your plans
you didn't want me on your hands
you couldn't wait to say goodbye

well say the words and let me sleep
make a promise you can keep
don't make me lie awake and dream of saying what you mean
(repeat)

  since it's too much for you to do
  let me say the words for you
  cause i don't need this shit no more
  just say goodbye and slam the door

say the words and let me sleep
make a promise you can keep
don't make me lie awake and dream of saying what you mean
(repeat)
