The writing's on the subway wall
I'm sorry that i never called
I, i never phoned
Or wrote to you
It's silly 'cause
I wanted to
Oh yes, the subway wall
Sadly seems to say it all
It's my mistake, i know that now
A bit too late to cry...
You're somewhere else
With someone else
And here am i, all by myself
An empty wall, and empty me
I write the things that should've been
I tell the world how much i care
And miss the one
That isn't there
Oh - the writing on the wall
Oh - the writing on the wall
Oh - the writing on the wall
Oh - the writing on the wall....
The writing's on the subway wall
And give or take a year or so
Someone will come
And rub it out
Delete the words
That hurt my heart
Oh yes, there will remain
A little hurt, a little stain
The memory can still be read
Upon the wall
Inside my head
Oh - the writing on the wall
(right on)
Oh - the writing on the wall
Oh - the writing on the wall
(write on)
Oh - the writing on the wall
Oh - the writing on the wall....
