What Can I Say

  • Piercing words, eyes are red
    Watched your taillights in the rain
    Empty heart filled with regret
    I know we were both to blame

    And I'm not sorry that it's over
    But for the way we let it end
    So I said all I had to say
    In letters that I threw away

    And you should know, please believe me
    I've picked up the phone a thousand times
    And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
    It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
    What can I say?

    How did it come to this?
    I think about you all the time
    It's no excuse, but I wish
    That I never made you cry

    I'm not sorry that it's over
    But for the way we let it end
    I couldn't find the words to say

    And you should know, please believe me
    I've picked up the phone a thousand times
    And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
    It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
    So what can I say? What can I say?
    What can I say? What can I say?

    I hate to think all you had of me
    (I said all I had to say)
    Is a memory I left you, space between what was meant to be
    (In letters that I threw away)
    And the mess that it turned into

    And you should know, please believe me
    I've picked up the phone a thousand times
    And tried to dial your number, but it's been so long
    It's never easy, it's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
    It's like tryin' to spin the world the other way
    What can I say? What can I say?
