Writing Lyrics

Wake up in the middle of the night again
whispers of someone else's name
tell me none of this is a bad dream

If mistakes were yours
why is the sorrow mine to bare
& how could you trust her broken hands
to trace your body right
this is not who you are

Something tells me this isn't who you are
but I guess I'll never know
because there's no song on the radio
for this
for moments of weakness
when nothing was official
but we knew
you were for me and I am for you

That's how it should have been
and someone wrote our movie wrong
There's no lyrics there's no song
so credits had to change
give the prize to emptiness
& someone's stupid games
rolling tears and moving hearts
but never quite Sorry

Something tells me this isn't who you are
but I guess I'll never know
I can find no closure on the radio
station after station of we were
and we were ruined
When we were never long enough
to have the chance to do it
wrong

That's how it should have been, long
but someone has directed wrong
every channel with it's happy endings
all of the lies and denial their sending

There'll never be a love song
till I pick up a pen
and fill it with the blood
thickening again

Lyrics of a pretty face
falling for your charm
needing just a little time
to keep us safe from harm
when his heart just couldn't trust
it ran to someone else
thinking he was just another
dusty on her shelf

Now I'm sleeping in your arms each day
crying every night
wondering if things would change
if we would do it right
if life had a rewind

the whispers keep repeating
words I never heard
yet somehow picture clearly
every lustful word

one tear on my pillow
millions on there way
waiting till you apologize
once again today
hoping soon the sorry arms
can coax the pain to go
cuz echoes won't be silenced
on the radio
