Every Word Was A Piece Of My Heart lyrics

I've been starting at the page
For what seemed like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did i see a tear fall from your eyes
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried
When i served my secrets on a silver tray to you
Hey now, I guess the nights just bringin me down

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But, know that every word was a piece of my heart

You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know that I can never escape you
Let the choir sing tonight I'm an easy mark
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Have I said too much
Maybe i haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart

Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
Mayve I've lost my guts-there is that truth enough
Hey now, hey now

You know these love letters mix with whiskey
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon
Hey now, Hey now, Hey now
Am I talking just a little too loud

There's no love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud
Hey now, maybe the night's just bringin me down
