I walked in the front door, turned the light on in the hall Then I saw the post-it notes that she had stuck up on the wall The first one said, I love you, but I can't live on love alone The little yellow post-it notes were stuck up everywhere One was on the microwave and one on the fridge, dear She said, I cried all night, but you weren't there to watch the teardrops fall Well, if you couldn't get the picture, maybe you can read the writing on the wall Sometimes you do what you gotta do, if you do anything at all Sometimes it takes a freight train coming, sometimes it takes a mountain to fall Sometimes you do what you gotta do, sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl Well, if you couldn't get the picture, maybe you can read the writing on the wall The post-it note on her pillow said, the lonely nights were hell The one on the mirror said, take a good look at yourself And the one she put on the closet door said, I waited long enough for you to call Well, if you couldn't get the picture, maybe you can read the writing on the wall Sometimes you do what you gotta do, if you do anything at all Well, if you couldn't get the picture, maybe you can read the writing on the wall Well, if you couldn't get the picture, maybe you can read the writing on the wall *
