The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
But somewhere along the way it got heavy
Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day
You said I told you what you wanted to hear
Well, you might be right but I meant every word
I whispered into your ear, besides it did me the same
Before, I could go completely alone for days at a time
Without getting lonely
But I guess you left a hole in my chest
You carved yourself a spot and now I left it open
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
Well, I hated that I made you cry
You wear your heart on your sleeve
And now you wanna use it to wipe the tears outta your eyes
You're getting salt in the wound
I wish you'd credit me for how hard I tried
'Cause some day you'll find someone who loves you better
But first you gotta learn how to fly on your own
Ooo, you had too many glasses
You say you don't remember that conversation
But I think you know how the saying goes
About the words come out in that kinda state
You said stay, so I stayed quiet
For once in my life I knew what I had to do
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
It's been too long
I need to hear your sweet voice again
Your sweet voice again
Wasn't this supposed to be fun?
But somewhere along the way it got heavy
Since I saw you from across the lawn, light as the day
