Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you wake up
Turn your radio on
And you'll hear this simple song
That I made up
That I made up for you
[Verse 2]
When you're driving
Turn your radio up
Cause I can't sing loud enough
All these days
To get my message through
[Verse 3]
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted do
I'm tired of talkin' to an empty space
Our silences keeping me awake
[Verse 4]
When you're married
And you look around
I'll be somewhere in that crowd
Torn up that it isn't me
When we're older
And the memories fade
I know I'll still feel the same
Yeah
For as long as I live
[Verse 5]
And if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Our silences keeping me awake
[Verse 6]
Won't you say my name
One time, please?
Just say my name
[Verse 7]
And if time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted do
I'm tired of talking to an empty space
Our silences keeping me awake
[Verse 8]
If time is all I have
I'll waste it all on you
Each day I'll turn it back
It's what the broken hearted do
I'm tired of talkin' to an empty space
Our silences keeping me awake
[Verse 9]
Won't you say my name
When the song is over?
Written by: Eg White, James Blunt
