When I Write Your Name

Can't you see

This long, loving war of ours

Cannot be won?

I say can't you see?

Well, baby, this is our Vietnam

Write your name on every cheque

Once every month, like you know what

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Well, my heart may have died

But luckily, my head survived

To see how far your new name has taken you

And taken your new life

Well, I still can't think of things we said we'll do

When things went wrong, weren't right

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Roses may be red but still I

Write your name, instead of loving you

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Tell me what is left

When I write your name? (Write it)

Well, can't you see

This long, loving war of ours

Cannot be won?

I say can't you see?

Wake up, baby, this is our Vietnam

If I write your name on every cheque

Once every month, like you know what

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Roses may be red but still I

Write your name, instead of loving you

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Tell me what is left

When I write your name?

Left, right, left

Left, right, left

I'm gon' write your name

I'm gon' write your name

I'm gon' write your name

Gon' write your name

Gon' write your name

Yeah, I'll write your name
