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
