Intro

 God this is hard you've had no sleep, you thought of nothing else for weeks

 You begin your lines, and fumble with your purse

 It's been eating you and you don't know what to do

 And your lie, only made it worse

 You can't expect him to understand, he's not a saint, he's just a man

 And you know, that you can't change what he did

 But if you had 40 lives, you d get it right by the 39th,

 As it is, all that you could ask, all this will pass

 God, you wish like hell, you hadn t done it and you tell

 Him, how much you regret it

 But you're talking to yourself, you're as lonely and as desperate

 As a kettle boiling, with no there to get it

 All the words you meant to say, hang in the air then float away

 And vanish into the end of a dying day

 But if you had 40 lives, you d get it right by the 39th,

 As it is, all that you could ask, all this will pass

[Don t lie, ah ah ah]

 And if only you hadn't stayed, and if only you'd been delayed

 And it s funny what a difference a minute makes

 But if you had 40 lives, you d get it right by the 39th

 As it is, all that you could ask, all this will pass
