Lucy

Lucy, I'm waiting for a chance to leave

Lucy, I'm looking for a brand new start

I recognize I'm not the man you need, so

Lucy, I'm sorry about your broken heart

I never meant to hurt a girl like you

I made empty promises I couldn't keep

This time I swear that every word is true

I wish I could tell you, but you're fast asleep

While your eyes are closed my mind is turning

I get like this every time

I get too close to where I'm going

Just like that, I change my mind

Too many lovers on the TV screen say

"Darling, I love you," when the lights go dark

I understand its just a young girl's dream, but

Lucy, I'm sorry about your broken heart

Well, you'll say I won't do any better

I don't think I could feel much worse

But keep your eyes closed, keep your life

Where every moment feels rehearsed

Lucy, I'm sorry, but our time is up

You tried to keep me, but I played my part

I'll tape a letter to the TV screen, saying

Lucy, I'm sorry about your broken heart
