Words

I sent no postcards from Australia Of the sand and the sea And I wrote no letters while in Asia Cos I had bitter company But I'll push this pen into the paper, yeah And I'll sit and watch, watch it bleed And I'll move that ink to my discretion, yeah To spell out the words I didn't want to speak I write an i next to the heart before the letter u And I will leave it here To see what you would do If you just say the words If you just say it first I wrote no love songs while on the east coast I just didn't have the need And I wrote no poems when in New Zealand Cos there are secrets I didn't want to keep But I'll spell it out (I'll spell it out) The only way I know how (The only way that I know how) Though my words seem to be the bluntest tool To the feelings that I'm tryna get to I'll spell it out I write an i next to the heart before the letter u And I will leave it here To see what you would do If you just say the words If you just say it first Then you'll know that I love you (I love you, yeah, love you) I trade a pen for knife (I trade a pen for a knife, yeh) If I ever, ever see you cry (If I ever see you cry) If you just say the words If you just say it first Then you'll know that I love you If you just say the words If you just say it first Then you'll know that I love you
