Left On Read

Written on a piece of lined paper
Are the words that I can't say
Right now I'll save them for later
Unless I can find another way

To tell you what I'm thinking of
When I'm lying awake in bed
It's you and me and all our love
So don't leave me left on read

She said "my hand's already taken
I'll keep these cards close to my chest
But this feeling can't be shaken
I can't work out what is best"

I won't get caught up in between
You can trust me to confide
Well I'll be there for you to lean on
Whatever you decide

If he will give you your desires
Then I won't take his place
Find me if your match expires
I'm not that hard to trace

I said "I don't wanna turn the page
We've got time to reconcile
But if the curtain closes at this stage
One day it might all be worthwhile"

Do you still have the letter in your drawer?
If you wanted I could write you dozens more
So let's talk over those ties that bind
How can I change your mind?
You don't ever have to apologise

She said "my hand's already taken
I'll keep these cards close to my chest
But this feeling can't be shaken
I can't work out what is best"

And I said "I don't wanna turn the page
We've got time to reconcile
But if the curtain closes at this stage
One day it might all be worthwhile"
