[Verse 1]
D G C D
Some days, every word gets in our way
G C D
You don't make sense of what I say

And every answer begs another question why
C G D
I didn't want to
[Verse 2]
D G C D
Maybe I could have changed the way it was

I could have made much more of us

I didn't want to
[Pre-chorus]

Don't take it as a sign

Somehow if I am wont to take my time

C G D
I didn't want you
[Pre-chorus]

Don't take it on yourself

Put your heartache on the shelf and come away

Doesn't mean that I don't thirst for you today

And you I wouldn't change
