LYRICS
I see you standing there
But you’re just standing there
Looking at me
Well we can both tell lies
I think we realise
This could never be
I hear you telling them
I know you’re telling them
That it’s the only one
I may have had my fill
But I can’t sit still
When it’s said and done
And I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
But the words won’t come
Yes I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
I see you walking by
But you’re just walking
Leaving evidence behind
I’m always breaking rules
But I won’t be a fool
Even though I’m so inclined
And I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
But the words won’t come
Yes I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
Some say that they don’t see
How it’s always such a habit with me
But it makes no difference at all
You know it’s just a game
It’s just a stupid game
A game we always play
I never stood a chance
Against your glacier glance
So I turned and walked away
And I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
But the words won’t come
Yes I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
And I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
But the words won’t come
Yes I wish I could tell you
Wish I could tell you
