Wait a minute,
What did you say?
Did I hear you say,
There's no real reason left for you to stay?

 Under your breath,
I hear your soft voice break.
Can we still be friends?
I hear you talking but you're just not making sense.

 I've been hoping for a happy ending.
Now I know that there won't be any,
Just a few words too many.

 Chorus:
In my head.
A few words too many,
In this bed.
A few words too many,
Left unsaid.
Wish that we were strangers,
We could start again,
All over...

 A broken shadow
Falls across your face,
As you hesitate
Trying to think of all the things you need to say.

 Bare-faced the truth lies
At my feet.
As you turn away,
Sometimes silence has a way of making peace.

 I've been hoping for a happy ending.
Now I know there won't be any,
Just a few words too many.

 Chorus

 Staring at the ceiling,
Wondering just what you're feeling,
Was it me,
Or was it you?
Whats the difference if I knew?
Maybe I wouldn't feel so empty,
If I hadn't heard a few words too many.

 Chorus

 Wait a minute,
What did you say?
Did I hear you say...
