lyrics

It’s been a long time now it’s over
He’s turned the corner now he’s gone
I watched you pine away
Twenty-four hours a day (yeah, yeah)

All those nights we stayed up talking
You’d talk him up so I’d talk you down
Off that little ledge
With that crush still in your head

Your voice was clear as a bell
But you never opened your mouth
You can ring the city but he is out of town
Why didn’t you open your mouth

It’s a hard thing to get over
A quiet love you’ve loved so long
Those things you should have said
Just whirling in your head, yeah

Your voice was clear as a bell
But you never opened your mouth
You can ring the city, but he is out of town
Why didn’t you open your mouth

Your voice was clear as a bell
But you didn’t open your mouth
You can ring the city, but he’s out of town
Why didn’t you open your mouth
