Lyrics
Speak
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.
Said: We should take a break, I’ve been thinking this over
Call it a compromise though you leave me to suffer
And I’ve been waiting
And I’ve been waiting
And I’ve been waiting
For you to let me breath this time
This time
Now you call in the night
And we both know this is a lost case
But it breaks me down that we don’t speak
Do you miss the days?
You never call when you’re sober
Back in forth we play
You only care when it’s over
And I’ve been waiting
Yeah I’ve been waiting
And I’ve been waiting
For you to let me breath this time
This time
But you call in the night
And we both know this is a lost case
But it breaks me down that we don’t speak
Oh you come back
I leave you on the line
Won’t you come back
Just holding on to something
Won’t you come back
It breaks me every time
Won’t you come back
We leave it all behind
And I’ve been waiting
Yeah I’ve been waiting
Yeah, I’ve been waiting
For you to let me breath this time
This time
But you call me at night
And we both know this is a lost case
But it breaks me down that we don’t speak
We don’t speak
But you call in the night
And we both know this is a lost case
But it breaks me down that we don’t speak
