How many times have I wasted my breath?
How many times have I cried?
How many times can I stare into the light
Before I finally go blind?
You say you think about me all the time
You talk about me in your sleep
But how can I believe a word you say
When it's not me you wanna keep
How many words can I shout into the wind?
How many words will it take?
How many words 'till you say that you hear me
Before you feel my heart break?
You say you think about me all the time
You talk about me in your sleep
But how can I believe a word you say
When it's not me you wanna keep
How many times have I fallen asleep?
How many times all alone?
How many times have I waited to hear
The sound of your voice on the phone?
You say you think about me all the time
You talk about me in your sleep
But how can I believe a word you say
When it's not me you wanna keep
How many words can I turn into a song?
How many words can I say?
How many words will it take 'till you believe me
That this ain't never going away
You say you think about me all the time
You talk about me in your sleep
But how can I believe a word you say
When it's not me you wanna keep
You say you think about me all the time
You talk about me in your sleep
But how can I believe a word you say
When it's not me you wanna keep
