When you wake up Turn the radio on And you'll hear this simple song That I made up That I made up for you When you're driving Turn the radio up Cause I can't sing loud enough Hard these days To get my message through If time is all I have I'll waste it all on you Each day I'll turn it back It's what the broken-hearted do I'm tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake When you marry And you look around I'll be somewhere in that crowd Torn up, that it isn't me When you're older And the memories fade But I know I'll still feel the same For as long as I live But if time is all I have I'll waste it all on you Each day I'll turn it back It's what the broken-hearted do I'm tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake Won't you say my name, one time Please just say my name But if time is all I have I'll waste it all on you Each day I'll turn it back It's what the broken-hearted do I'm tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake If time is all I have I'll waste it all on you Each day I'll turn it back It's what the broken-hearted do I'm tired of talking to an empty space Of silences keeping me awake Won't you say my name When the song is over
