Why Can’t I Write a Love Song?
Why can’t I write a love song?
Inspiration comes when my world’s crashing down
Though I try to live in the moment
When I’m happy, I never write it all down
When I see you again
Maybe this time I’ll say hello
Maybe we two will know what to do
But I don’t know
Only when there’s sorrow
Do I find the right words to say
Exactly what I’m feeling
If only a little late
Will I still pretend
You’re still my friend — I don’t think so
Maybe we two will know what to do
But I don’t know
I don’t know I don’t know
Maybe I’ll take time to make time on my own
On my own
Only when I fall apart
Do I see life with such clarity
I know just what I’m feeling
When I’m alone, words come with ease
When I see you again
Maybe this time I’ll say hello
Maybe we two will know what to do
But I don’t know I don’t know
