Lyrics

I hung onto every single word
that you spoke
I gathered up the pieces
of the trust that you broke
I glued them all together in this song
and I hope you'll listen

And I hope that these three chords
are good enough for you
You'd probably say you'd be quite alright
with just two
But you have to understand
I'm not exactly sure what to do

So I'll play this sad song upon my guitar
I'll sing to the honeybees and wish on a star
That someday they won't have to fly quite as far
to glisten

And I'll set things back
to the way they used to be
I'll send you back
to your castle by the sea
In hopes that someday
there'll be room in there
for me

And I searched for some comfort
in the arms of a friend
They say that the means
will justify the end
But they never said
exactly what that end
would be

And we all make mistakes
every once in a while
You say that you're happy
When you see me smile
But that's no reason
For me to act like a child

So I waited for your voice
on the telephone
But you keep telling me
that you're almost grown
and these are the things
that I should have known
you see

So I hung onto every single word
that you spoke
I gathered up the pieces of the trust
that you broke
I glued them all together in this song
and I hoped you'd listen

And I played this sad song upon my guitar
I sang to the honeybees and wished on a star
That someday they wouldn't have to fly quite as far
To glisten
