lyrics

They’ve been friends since college
And he’s back in town
So she’s been writing it, writing it, writing it down now
And locking it up so
Nobody knows
But they’re all whispering and chuckling and
Everybody’s ready for the show

Well things are nice so why risk change
He knows
And she’s got dreams that’ll take her away
She knows

Late night
Crowded for a birthday
And they stare insane
But then another guy cuts in
She’s laughing too loudly
It’s killing him softly
So he takes a shot
And finds another girl with not the quite same pull on his heart

And you’ve always got something to say
Why can’t you be brave
Be braver than me
Be braver than me

Oh, can’t you just let me down now
Just hurt me without spelling it out
Just whisper through the grapevine
Before they turn on the lights

Oh, can’t you just let me down now
Just hurt me without spelling it out
I think I love you too much
Cause you’re the only one that’d I’d rather give up

And you always have something to say
Why can’t you be brave, be braver than me

Well things are nice so why risk change
He knows
And she’s got dreams that’ll take her away
She knows
Are you ready for the show

Oh, can’t you just let me down now
Just hurt me without spelling it out
Just whisper through the grapevine
Before they turn on the lights

Oh, can’t you just let me down now
Just hurt me without spelling it out
I think I love you too much
Cause you’re the only one that’d I’d rather give up
