I went away last weekend and she hardly crossed my mind.
On the way I swore I’d say we were both wasting all our time
Despite myself, again I’m in her arms just like before
Is this silence something I should fill? Should I dwell upon it anymore?
Then she says “Why don’t you make me laugh again?”
“’Cause you’ve heard them all before.”
“Why don’t you smile at me?” she says
“Don’t you love me anymore?”
We cruised dusty backroads Sunday and I swear she never heard a word
Driving home when the sun sat low everything got a little blurred
When she said “Why don’t you make me laugh again?”
“’Cause you’ve heard them all before.”
“Why don’t you smile at me she?” she said.
“Don’t you love me anymore?”
I could swear I love her but sometimes I grow tired
Of fearing what I feel and what she wants as I lie beside her
Maybe we’re keeping secrets we should both just let on out
But sometimes when her walls close in I search for some way out
When she says “Why don’t you make me laugh again?”
“’Cause you’ve heard them all before.”
“Why don’t you smile at me she?” she said.
“Don’t you love me anymore?”
