Would you please 
Let me slide a few words 
Under your door 
And would you please 
Let me slide a few words 
Under your door 

The first three say "I Love You" 
The last five "But I can't no more" 
I don't believe in miracles 
Not like I did before 

And would you please 
Let me slide a few words 
Under your door 
And would you please 
Try to understand 

There's a paragraph or two 
Devoted to the memories that we shared 
In the dramatized songs about how there'll be 
No more memories 
No more memories 

And if you'll notice in the corner 
There's a tiny little heart I've enclosed 
Like a little surprise (Oh Yes I did) 
And if you'll please ignore the smeared smudged writing 
It came from the tears in my eyes 

You're probably gonna get it 
After a long day 
You may not even believe it's true 
I know you know, you know, you know my crazy ways 

Yeah, but Sleeping Beauty is going to bed 
She put a little tiny hole in her own head 
Gotta find her own way home 
Before she's dead 

Yeah, but Sleeping Beauty is going to bed 
She put a little tiny hole in her own head 
Gotta find her own way home 
Before she's dead 

Whoa Sleeping Beauty is going to bed 
She put a little tiny hole in her own head 
Gotta find her own way home 
Before she's dead 
Before she's dead 
Before she's dead

I am tired 
Of crying in bathrooms 
And lighting drags 
When I don't even smoke 

Writing to no one 
Sleeping with the hours 
And sighing 
For a thousand things 

So tired, ignoring your words 
About a new girl 

Watching flirtations 
Whispered conversations 

These Girls, they don't know 
How they kill me down 
Whenever they hold his hand 
And these girls 
I'm getting old, just by 
Being 'round them 
They're breaking the future 
I'll never hold again 

So blue, I'm scratching at nothing 
The tighter you hold him, the stronger he gets 
Inside I'm spinning, my lesson 
Lipstick and perfume, and fanciful speech 
My suitcase is packed by the door 
In case he comes crawling, like he did before 

Baby come get me, don't you look over there 

And these girls, they don't know 
How they kill me down 
Whenever they hold his hand 
And these girls 
I'm getting old, just by 
Being 'round them 
They're breaking the future 
I'll never hold again 

And these girls, if I had my chance 
Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night 
And these girls, it's dangerous 
It's not their fault 
But I'm so tired of being nice 

Anywhere that I go, they appear before me 
And everybody knows I'm addicted 
To the object of their eyes 

And these girls, they don't know 
How they kill me down 
Whenever they hold his hand 
And these girls 
I'm getting old, just by 
Being 'round them 
They're breaking the future 
I'll never hold again 

And these girls, if I had my chance 
Oh, I'll find a way to spell it out in the night 
And these girls, it's dangerous 
It's not their fault 
But I'm so tired of being nice 

So tired of being nice 
So tired, so tired of being alone
