This Life's Too Big


I'm sitting here, just wasting my time.
The hours pass away, as I wait to hear the ring
Of the telephone, I just wanna hear your sweet voice again.

I should've listened, when you said that I was drinking too fast.
Sounds silly now but for a while I just wanted to be one of the lads.
Aah but for what it's worth, I found out just how much the truth can hurt.

This life's too big for me and I don't want someone else.
The note you left, I've memorized it word for word
From reading it so much. I can't believe it's true.
The only words that come to mind are I love you.

The bed feels naked. Since you left I haven't slept a wink.
My hair's a mess, the dirty dishes are piling up in the sink.
I'm not lazy, it's just that I can't think without you.

I'm late for work again, who cares the boss can let me go.
Don' matter, I've no-one to share my things with anymore.
Won't you please come back?
Won't you please let me show you just how much I love you.

This life's too big for me and I don't want someone else.
The note you left, I've memorized it word for word
From reading it so much. I can't believe it's true.
The only words that come to mind are I love you.
