Lately

Sitting home alone
In the dark
At night
I bet I like the dark
More than you like the light

'Cause there are things you see that
Can't be seen when you
Open your eyes
So give me three good reasons to go outside

And teach me how to show you're the only one I wanna love
And words work
But lately they're just not enough

And it makes me feel better
Knowing that I'm a home you wanna come home to
And it makes me wonder what went wrong with you and her
And I wonder if you wonder about me and him too
But I'd be happy to never speak of this again

So teach me how to show you're the only one I wanna love
And words work
But lately they're just not enough

So I'll write you a little song in hope
That you'll listen
And maybe music makes the words
Sound right
And I've got one more question for you
Tonight
Can you tell me
That it's gonna be alright

So teach me how to show you're the only one I wanna love
And words work
But lately they're just not enough

Oh, and, well, teach me how to show you're the only one I wanna love
And words work but lately they're just
Not enough

And I'll admit that I'm afraid
And I hide away this tape
Until there comes a day I
Find the gall to say
"Oh, won't you listen?"
