[Verse 1:] But there's so much I wanna say to you
But the words that never seem to come out by
An explanation seems so long overdue
But sometimes it takes that long to realize

'Cause I lost when I fought that war
Don't wanna travel that road no more
Don't want to be a casualty of love

[Chorus:] I think it’s time that I even this score
Catch my heart before it hits the floor
This time it’s only me I am thinking of
I don’t wanna be the one asking

If your heart could ever be unsure
I can see all the signs are perplexing
So I leave this trip with you before
I have to cry myself asleep

[Verse 2:] It’s apparent we must have lost our way
And the compliments
Don’t come that much no more

Ain’t it tragic
I would have gave you anything like
Any empty shell washed up in the shore

[Repeat Chorus:]
