Wasted Paper

(Jim Melko & Stefanie Welches)

 

 

She tossed and turned and waited all last night

Then she heard him start the car and just leave behind their fight

He'd never say he's sorry, she knew him all too well

Like he couldn't say, "I love you" or tell her how he felt

She sat down at his desk to write goodbye

No matter how hard she tried

 

Chorus

(It was) all just wasted paper

Crumpled-up attempts to find a place to start

It was all just wasted paper

When the pen just couldn’t capture

What’s written in the heart

 

Page after tear-stained page kept getting thrown aside

How can she say it's over with the love she can't deny

Searching through the basket for the words where she began

She found some notes of love to her written in his hand

 

Repeat Chorus

 

He had flowers in his hand

And a speech already planned, and found her

Sitting on the floor while all about her

Were the wrinkled sheets with words of love he thought were

 

Repeat Chorus
