Every Word Was a Piece of My Heart

[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the page
For what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down

[Chorus]
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But, know that every word was a piece of my heart

[Verse 2]
You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles they came easy 'cause of you
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I can never escape you
Let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud

[Chorus]
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But, know that every word was a piece of my heart

[Chorus]
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart

[Bridge]
Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
Maybe I've lost my guts - there, is that truth enough
Hey now, Hey now

[Verse 3]
You know these love letters mix with whisky
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon
Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, am I talking just a little too loud

[Chorus]
There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But, know that every word was a piece of my heart

[Outro]
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud
Hey now, the night's just bringing me down
