every word was a piece of my heart

i've been staring at the page for what seems like days

i guess i put this one off for a while

did i see a tear fall from your eyes?

or did you laugh so hard that you cried?

when i served my secrets on a silver tray to you

hey now

i guess the night's just bringing me down

there's no love

there's no hate

i left them there for you to take

but know that every word was a piece of my heart

you've been the blood in my veins

the only one who knows my middle name

and the smiles

they came easy 'cause of you

you know that i love you

but i hate you

'cause i know i can never escape you

so let the choir sing for tonight i'm an easy mark

hey now

am i acting just a little too proud?

there's no love

there's no hate

i left them there for you to take

but know that every word was a piece of my heart

have i said too much

maybe i haven't said enough

but know that every word was a piece of my heart

hush me darling

maybe i've lost my touch

maybe i've lost my guts

there

is that truth enough?

hey now

hey now. you know these love letters mix with whisky

just don't light a match when you kiss me

though i'll blow away

you know i'll be back soon

hey now

hey now

hey now

am i talking just a little too loud?

there's no love

there's no hate

i left them there for you to take

but know that every word was a piece of my heart

have i said too much

maybe i haven't said enough

but know that every word was a piece of my heart

hey now

am i talking just a little too proud?

hey now

the night's just bringing me down
