Tell me on the phone You know where my heart's gone Why I'm so withdrawn Every word is more obscure To my heart's song And I can't hold on (Ah) Yesterday I wrote a little tune I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used I'm sorry but it's been weighing on me Oh I can't lie when I sing No I can't lie when I sing My dear There's nothing left in here So just hold on But don't hold on to me Tried my best this time To keep your hand in mine But it's written now And I'm rippin out the page And you fantasize Of chasin lights But you won't get far With half your heart at sea And New York's callin' For you darlin So pack your bags don't throw it all away You know I'm fallin From you darlin And I'm afraid there's no more room to stay... to stay I'm afraid there's nothin left to say I still wait for you to call Though I told you that we shouldn't speak outside normal protocol How could you give me your all? Why should you wait for me at all? 'Cause Yesterday I wrote a little tune I'm afraid you'll hate the words I used I'm sorry but it's been weighin on me Oh I can't lie when I sing No I can't lie
