lyrics

There's a hole in my head
Where the words used to live
So I'll just pretend
That I've something left to give
To draw you in
To draw you in

'Cause you take the words away
And leave me with nothing to say
The tune is all I can sing
'Cause you take the words away

There's a song in your sigh
Hear it calling out to me
With a power I can't fight
Oh, you barely have to breathe
To draw me in
To draw me in

'Cause you take the words away
And leave me with nothing to say
The tune is all I can sing
'Cause you take the words away

There's a hole in my head
Where the words used to live
So I'll, in their stead
Offer all I have to give
To draw you in
To draw you in
