Left On Read Lyrics

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"
