What's wrong baby?
Don't they treat you like they should?
Did you take them for it
Every penny that you could?
We once walked out on the beach
And once i almost touched your hand
O, how i dreamed to finally say such things
Then only to pretend
Don't you know i'm thinking?
(don't you know i'm thinking)
Driving 4:05 past midnight
You know i miss you
(don't you know that i miss you)
Ninth and ash on a tuesday night
I would write to you from a museum mile
I toast to you :
Your whisper
Your smile
Up the stairs at the weatherford
A ghost each place i hide
If you don't know, why'd you just say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you just say so?
Won't you get your stories right?
If you don't know, honey why'd you just say so?
When i need this now more then i ever did
If you don't know, well honey, then you don't
I left you waiting
(o, i left you waiting)
At the least could we be friends?
Should have never started
(never started)
Ain't that the way it always ends?
All my life i'll try today
Theres so much i've felt i should say
But even if your heart would listen i doubt i could explain
If you don't know, why'd you just say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you just say so?
Won't you get your stories right?
If you don't know, honey why'd you just say so?
Cause i need this now more then i ever did
If you don't know, well honey, then you don't
So here we are now
A sip of wine
A sip of water
Someday maybe (someday maybe)
Maybe someday we'll be smarter
And i'm sorry that i'm such a mess
I drank all my money could get,
I took everything that you had and never loved you back
If you don't know, why'd you just say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you just say so?
Won't you get your story straight?
If you don't know, honey why'd you just say so?
Cause i need this
If you don't know, well honey, then you don't
