They sat at the table, polite conversation
|
Avoiding the issue at hand
|
Then he made the coffee and she did the dishes
|
And sat down at the table again
|
She waited a moment hoping he would speak first
|
Though it never had happened before
|
He sat there in silence expecting the worst
|
Til she couldn't wait anymore
|
|
She said "I'm mad"
|
He heard "I'm leaving"
|
She said "I need your attention"
|
He heard "I want you to crawl"
|
She said "I'm sad"
|
He heard "It's all your fault"
|
There is no translation
|
Emotions don't fit into words
|
Theres so much between what she
|
And what he heard
|
|
She said "I love you" thats not the problem
|
And I know how much you care
|
But for too long now we've been walking on eggshells
|
I just had to clear the air
|
He looked at her like she was speaking chinese
|
With some of the letters left out
|
Try as he may he just didn't know
|
What she was talking about
|
|
She said "I'm mad"
|
He heard "I'm leaving"
|
She said "I need your attention"
|
He heard "I want you to crawl"
|
She said "I'm sad"
|
He heard "It's all your fault"
|
There is no translation
|
Emotions don't fit into words
|
Theres so much between what she
|
And what he heard
|
|
Then he started smiling
|
And she started laughing
|
They both reached out their hands
|
She said "I think we're from two different planet
|
No wonder we misunderstand"
|
|
She said "I'm mad"
|
He heard "I'm leaving"
|
She said "I need your attention"
|
He heard "I want you to crawl"
|
She said "I'm sad"
|
He heard "It's all your fault"
|
There is no translation
|
Emotions don't fit into words
|
Theres so much between what she
|
And what he heard
