I wish I could purchase words at the store
The right words to make you happy
And band aids strong enough
To hold your heart together when it's breaking
I hear you say you'll come and visit
Over the telephone line your voice sounds shaky
But I wait staring out the window
And the dark falls without your presence
You say you love me all the same
And then change your mind again
So I wear the brightest yellow shirt
To mask the pain
You're so amazing I couldn't be mad
Even in the middle of all the rain
So I'll concentrate on something else
And perhaps you'll forget your side of the fight
But whenever you don't want to show
All the times you didn't bother to try
I wish I could tell you that I love you
And I'm always on your side
I want to mend your wounds
Because neither of us is to blame
And if I'm willing to forget your mistakes
I wish you'll do the same
