Written All Over My Face

  • I always played you songs to say
    What I never could
    Other people say it better
    Say it better than I would
    But for every word left unsaid
    I thought you understood

    Oh yeah
    It was easier to kiss you
    Than to tell you how I feel
    Oh and I don't want to lose you
    But you can't see that through your tears
    You're saying that I hurt you
    But I had no idea

    I'm doing the best a man can
    To make it
    But you don't believe
    Believe that I am

    Just 'cause you say it's so
    Doesn't make it so
    Singing I don't show
    What I'm feeling for you
    I'd rather shut my mouth
    Than to spell it out
    There's no doubt
    When it's written all over my face
    What you want me to say that I don't say
    What you want when it's written all over my face
    If you want we can talk about it all day
    But what's to say when it's written all over my face

    You're not one of my boys
    You can't get inside my mind
    I'm not one of your girlfriends
    Who's gonna see it from your side
    What you lay on the table
    Well I choose to keep inside

    I'm doing my best to make it
    To make it
    But you don't believe
    Believe that I am

    Just 'cause you say it's so
    Doesn't make it so
    Saying I don't show
    What I'm feeling for you
    I'd rather shut my mouth
    Than spell it out
    There's no doubt
    When it's written all over my face

    What you want me to say that I don't say
    What you want, when it's written all over my face
    If you want we can talk about it all day
    But what's to say when it's written all over my face
    When it's written all over my face
    When it's written all over my face
    When it's written all over my face

    There's nothing wrong but communication
    It's just a problem of our own creation
    Sometimes love gets lost in translation

    Yeah, yeah

    What you want me to say that I don't say
    What you want when it's written all over my face
    If you want we could talk about it all day
    But what's to say
    When it's written all over my face
    All over my face
    All over my face
    When it's written all over my face
    All over my face

    There's nothing wrong but communication
    It's just a problem of our own creation
    Sometimes love gets lost in translation Writer/s: ANDREW FRAMPTON, O'DONOGHUE, SHEEHAN, STEPHEN KIPNER, STEVE KIPNER
