I wish I could tell you
But I know the words would come out wrong
I wish I could say those things
But I’d feel like I was stringing you along
And if I could speak
And if I could say
All of those things
I promise, I would everyday

But I’m too damn sick and too damn sad
And everyone laments and tells me it’s too bad
I was a boy wide-eyed, alert, and awake
And now I’m too damn afraid to make a mistake
With you…

I wish that you could understand I need to

Just give me a minute
A minute to collect my thoughts here for you
I’ve been pining on paper
About all of the things I ought to do
If I were braver
If I could say
All of these things
I promise, I would everyday

But it’s far too late and you’re already gone
And our friends tell me that you’ve already moved on
I missed my one chance to say that you’re right
I forgot to pay you the five dollars I owed you last night
Hey you…

I’d be one hungry bastard without you
