Every word you say just gets in the way Will you read the play or see it through?
As I touch your hand, try to understand All I'd ever planned was to look at you
And something inside's bringing me down While talking you round
I beg, steal, and borrow Every empty hope that I feel
And try to conceal Is bringing me sorrow
Questions in your eyes Answer them with lies
Innocent disguise You can't see through
Let the moment last Mustn't move too fast
When the moment's past I'm kissing you
And something inside's bringing me down While talking you round
I beg, steal, and borrow
Every empty hope that I feel And try to conceal
Is bringing me sorrow
After all those years Drive away the fears
Tenderness and tears First of the few
Promises to make All the give and take
And solemn vows to break Yes, I love you too
And something inside's bringing me down While talking you round
I beg, steal, and borrow Every empty hope that I feel
And try to conceal Is bringing me sorrow
And something inside's bringing me down While talking you round
I beg, steal, and borrow Every empty hope that I feel
Is suddenly real I'll miss you tomorrow
Every word you say Just got in the way
Now you've read the play And seen it through
