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 not 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
Let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark

Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud?
There's not 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 not 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
