Lyrics:
We must look like a couple of strangers
Sitting in a quiet room
You’ve been studying the patterns on the carpet
I’ve been studying you
You kept building higher walls
I kept busting through
We’ve been on this same road together
But somehow got a different view

I thought I was telling you I love you
I thought I could make it up with words
I was trying so hard to reach you but that’s not what you heard

I must sound like a broken old record
Needle stuck in the groove
Saying the same thing over and over
Trying to get a message through
Damn these words I’ve always trusted
Wound up hurting you
It’s only in the aftermath
We see the damage they can do.

I thought I was telling you I love you
I thought I could make it up with words
I was trying so hard to reach you but that’s not what you heard

Now I’m feeling every mile between us
And I wonder if I’ll ever learn
That it doesn’t matter how I mean it
If that’s not what you heard

I thought I was telling you I love you
I thought I could make it up with words
I was trying so hard to reach you but that’s not what you heard

Now I’m feeling every mile between us
I wonder if I’ll ever learn
That it doesn’t matter how I mean it
If that’s not what you heard

No, it doesn’t matter how I mean it
If that’s what you heard
