By the time you read this
I'll be anywhere but here
I really can't believe it's only been a year

I'm trying to tell you how I'm feeling
I hate all this so much
You might be hard of hearing
But you're always soft to touch

I only want you to talk to me
I only want you to talk to me
Please respond

And by the time you read this
I'll have worked out what to do
God knows I don't need this any more than you

I've given you trust and patience
Would you give them back to me
I'm sick and tired of waiting
For this to turn out happily

I only want you to talk to me
I only want you to talk to me
Please respond
