I can, I can only whisper (whisper)

I can only cry (cry), tonight

I wish I was with her

Instead I'm laying here by myself, yeah

Just thinking 'bout the way that it felt, yeah

'Cause she was there when nobody else

Couldn't make out the words in my mouth

But here, the poet floats in a well, yeah

My words are soaking, coated in braille, yeah

I look up at everyone else, oh, yeah

With everything I wish I could yell

'Cause we'd be getting by tonight

I can only whisper (only whisper)

I can only cry tonight (cry tonight)

If I could only see you now, I would be kissing you so sweetly

We'd be getting by tonight
