Your Lips Are


wrote this 4 years ago
but somehow everybody already knows
every word, every single line
even though i sang it only one time
to you that day in the park
with the chirp of the birds and the dogs bark
told you i'd always be true
that there isn't anything i wouldn't do for you----

you----

but when the day came for me to prove
that i was sincere and true
i think i made the wrong choice
i didn't speak up i didn't use my voice
i couldn't do what i needed to
to prove that i loved you
i couldn't do what it took
so you just bowed your head and shook

no no no no - no no no no, my heart says no
no no no no - no no no no, my heart says no

I know you could have loved me
I know that your heart could see
all that we had in store
all that we could become and more
but my heart it couldn't wait
and you just couldn't give me a break
so i had to say good bye to you
because that’s all i know how to do

so i'll see you on the flip side - flip side
when the time is right
and that time may never come
so till then i'll just sit and hum

hum hum hum hum - hum hum hum hum - hum hum hum hum
hum hum hum hum - hum hum hum hum - hum hum hum hum

now that the world is singing my song
i guess that i'll just have to sing along
and hope that you are singing too,
and know that i will always love you.

love you - love you

those word i will never hear
spoken by you my dear
those word i will never hear
spoken by you my dear

your lips are, your lips are, your lips are, your lips are,
your lips are, your lips are
my most coveted dream
please say those words to me.

your lips are, your lips are, your lips are, your lips are,
your lips are, your lips are,
my most coveted dream
please say those words to me.
