It's my third cup of coffee The fifth time I said I'm sorry The sun slowly peakin' through the glasses Says we've been up all night We both know where this is going It's been a long time coming Is it really over? Is this really goodbye? Maybe I should say something Maybe you'd change your mind Maybe, maybe Buy a little more time But I got nothing No magic words To stop your leaving To end this hurt I'm just blank I'm starring into a space Prayin' please, please let me think of something 'Cause I got nothing I watch you pack your things You look down at your ring Slowly slip it off and then You lay it on our bed Maybe I should pick it up And get down on my knees Tell you what you wanna hear And give you what you need But I got nothing No magic words To stop your leaving To end this hurt I'm just blank I'm starring into a space Prayin' please, please let me think of something 'Cause I got nothing You're almost at the door And you stop and turn around You're eyes are begging me Please say something right now But I got nothing No magic words To stop your leaving And I can't end this hurt I'm just blank I'm starring into space Praying please, please let me think of something 'Cause if you go I got nothin'
