The pen's in my hand but the ink must be dry
I can't find the words and I don't know why
The music is there but the lyrics are lost
I'm getting my words back at all but one cost
The song is supposed to be written for you
But how can I write if the song's lost to me?
You have to be here
Just so you can hear
And help me to set all the melodies free
I'm losing my patience, my strength, and my mind
Temper, temper, it's making me blind
The paper's in tatters all over the floor
I don't think that I can take anymore
The song is supposed to be written for you
But how can I write if the song's lost to me?
You have to be here
Just so you can hear
And help me to set all the melodies free
Now that you're back, I think I can try
I feel all the music, it's coming to me
Now that you're here
Just listen and hear
You helped me to set all the melodies free
My pen has exploded, but I just don't care
I'll write every word till there's nothing to spare
If only to hear as your heart skips a beat
As the music fills you from your head to your feet
The song is supposed to be written for you
But how can I write if the song's lost to me?
You have to be here
Just so you can hear
And help me to set all the melodies free
Now that you're back, I think I can try
I feel all the music, it's coming to me
Now that you're here
Just listen and hear
You helped me to set all the melodies free
Now let the world hear all the music I've got
It's only for you and that's all they will see
You will be here
They'll listen and hear
How only you set all the melodies free
