How Can I Say?
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.
Downtown i'm homeward bound
the city lights are looking bright tonight
No love lost between us
when i see you things are looking up
and though it's cold, inside I'm warm
devoid of worries, no love is forlorn
CHORUS
how can i say what must remain unspoken
Don't want to spoil all that we said before
So many cry baby hearts to be broken
Don't want to join in with their crazy wars
You tease, I try to please
Though i know I'm not looking my best tonight
Hard pressed, you've had the rest
Of all the choices, time to make your mind up
and though you smile, you're sad inside
but do not worry 'cause i'll make it right
how can i say what must remain unspoken
Don't want to spoil all that we said before
So many cry baby hearts to be broken
Don't want to join in with their crazy wars
