What Will I Write

(album: You And Your Lover - 1983)

What will I write
On this piece of paper?
How can I tell her
I don't love her anymore?
What can I say
To break it to her gently?
Words, they don't come easy
When you're walking at the door

Where are the words
That once felt like honey from my lips
When I was so eager for your kiss
And we were falling in love
Where are they now
Now that I need the very best
Not that they'll hurt her any less

Oh what will I write
To tell her that's it's over
And that it's not another
That's taken me away
What can I say
To break it to her gently?
Words they don't come easy
When there's nothing left to say

Where are the words
That once felt like honey from my lips
When I was so eager for your kiss
And we were falling in love
Where are they now
Now that I need the very best
Not that they'll hurt her any less

Oh what will I write
On this piece of paper?
