Intro

Verse 1

This is a letter from my lonelier self

 to the one that's in love once again.

 I couldn't find you so I thought that I would

tell you a few things with my favorite blue pen.

Prechorus

This year's been a hard one.

 Yeah, I've made so many big mistakes.

 I lost the heart that I'd been given.

Chorus

 So, when it's love don't wait to say what it is.

mmm.

When it's love don't wait to say what it is.

Verse 2

After the fire is when the neighbor's all come out

their sadness dripping with relief it wasn't them.

And all your thoughts turn solid cause you've lost everything else

and you need a place to lay your head.

Prechorus

In the vacant silence of a lost Manhattan boulevard

you'll hear the answers if you listen.

Chorus

When it's love don't wait to say what it is.

mmm

When it's love don't wait to say what it is.

mmmm

Prechorus

I see couples kissing with their arms and fingers locked so tight

I hope they say the words we didn't.

Chorus

When it's love don't wait to say what it is.

mmmm

And don't trade love for an aimless embrace of the wind.

mmmm

Please don't lose your love the way that I did.
