I know it's been some time, but don't move on
I think of all the things I missed since I've been gone
These days you live inside my head
While I'm alone here in my bed
And I can't sleep, so I've got time
Again to wrack my brain to find
What can I say to make you love me
What can I do to make you care
And by the time I find my answer
Baby I hope that you're still there
What can I say to make you love me
What can I do to make you care, oh
What can I do to make you care
A clear way forward is nowhere to be found
Another day in isolation wears me down
I've tried to keep a healthy distance
Even though I'm sick of it (I'm sick of it)
But even in this sorry state
You best believe I'm worth the wait
What can I say to make you love me (say say, say say, say say)
What can I do to make you care (oooooooo)
And by the time I find my answer (no time, no time, no time)
Baby I hope that you're still there (oooooooo)
What can I say to make you love me (say say, say say, say say)
What can I do to make you care, oh (oooooooo)
What can I do to make you care
I try to temper expectations now because
It's naïve to think that we'd go back to how it was
But if I want a happy ending
I won't let this be the end
I'll keep moving while I hold you in my heart
And my words will find their way to where you are
What can I say to make you love me (What can I say)
What can I do to make you care (What can I do)
And by the time I find my answer (Yeah I'm still searching)
Baby I hope that you're still there (Searching for you)
What can I say to make you love me (What can I say)
What can I do to make you care, oh (What can I do)
What can I do to make you care
