Got you on my conscience where you wanna be
there in spite of all you've done to me
got you on my bad side and you're leading me
so misleading, you're so contagious now

baby, maybe these simple words will never reach your ears
you'll never have the time to hear my plea
I've got you on my mind

I just wrote you this letter
I just wrote you this note
with a chance for a change and a splinter of hope
but you'll fake this indifference
you'll fake apathy
so I'll turn a deaf ear
turn away from your plea

baby, maybe these simple words will never reach your ears
