You are the passion in desire
And if I hadn't promised not to lie
Well I would write what is in your eyes
And I would say the sweetest things
If it didn't feel like I was lying
So I would not disgrace you with a song
But I should write before it's gone
A song for you
Would be a minor key
You wrote a sad song
Somewhere inside of me
You are like art upon a concrete wall
You are the height without a fall
Well I know what I say I don't mean
And I have my faults that you can see
Abusing my gift with words
So I won't do it anymore
And I would not disgrace you with a song
But I swear this won't last very long
A song for you
Would be a minor key
You wrote a sad song
Somewhere inside of me
And I long for you
Don't know what I need
Singing a song for you
In a minor key
Well I am unashamed
To write songs of love
That don't have names
But the ones you'll see
So that you will know
I didn't write a lie
Wasn't just a poet
In the minor keys
And I don't know how to write a song
That's clear to you and isn't wrong
A song for you
Would be a minor key
You wrote a sad song
Somewhere inside of me
A song for you
In a minor key
The song you wrote
Along with me
