Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Communication always leaves me incomplete

The grass is greener but it's grown beneath my feet

Love inspiration is a message on a wing

But I have left it in the words you'll never sing

[Verse 2]

Communication let me down and I'm left here

Communication let me down and I'm left here

I'm left here again

[Verse 3]

Tell ex, oh, tell me but it's always second-hand

I'm incognito but no rendezvous's been planned

Dictate or relay, I could send it to your home

Return to sender, I could sing it down the phone

[Verse 4]

Communication let me down and I'm left here

Communication let me down and I'm left here

I'm left here, I, I, I

[Verse 5]

Dictate

Relay

Dictate

Relay

[Verse 6]

I'm sitting here waiting by the telephone

Waitin' for the bell to ring

Short change fumble, dial a heart trouble

And I ain't got time for searchin' through the rubble

Oh, no

Well, I know

[Verse 7]

Communication let me down and I'm left here

Communication let me down and I'm left here

I'm left here, I, I, I

[Verse 8]

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh

I'm left here, oh
