Lyrics

What's wrong baby
Don't they treat you like they should?
Did you take 'em for it?
Every penny that you could

We once walked out on the beach
And once I almost touched your hand
Oh how I dreamed to finally say such things
Then only to pretend

Don't you know what i'm thinkin'
Drivin' four or five past midnight
You know I miss you
Don't you know that I miss you
Ninth and ash on a tuesday night

I would write to you from museum mile
A toast to you, your whisper, your smile
Up the stairs at weatherford
A ghost each place I hide

If you don't don't know,why would you say so?
Would you mean this please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight

If you don't know, honey, would you just say so?
Cause I need this now
More than I ever did
If you don't well, honey, then you don't

I left you waiting
At the least could we be friends?
Should have never started
Ain't that the way it always ends?

On my life I'll try today
There's so much I've felt I should say, but
Even if your heart would listen
I doubt I could explain

If you don't don't know, why'd you say so?
Would you mean this, please if it happens?
If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight

If you don't know, honey, would you just say so?
Cause I need this now more than I ever did
If you don't well, honey
Then you don't

So here we are now
A sip of wine a sip of water
Someday maybe, maybe
Someday we'll be smarter

And i'm sorry that i'm such a mess
I drank all my money could get and
Took everything you let me have and then i
Never loved you back

If you don't don't know
Why would you say so?
Would you mean the
Please if it happens?

If you don't know, why would you say so?
Won't you get your story straight?
If you don't know, honey, would you just say so?
Cause I need this now. yeah need this, need this

If you don't well, honey, then you don't
And if you don't well, honey then you don't
If you don't know, honey
Honey, then you don't
