The Message

Song and Lyrics
©Miguel Lopes Capelo

The message came through late
Had I been half asleep
I may have noticed
How your empathy
Survived and shone right through

And far from being clear
Held on to obsessions
That defined me
That defined how I should be
Around you

Spend these days and nights
Thinking about us
How holding on's an art-form
I detest

The message was I love you
And I really really care
And I may want you
But I could never ever need you like you do

The message was I love you
And I really really care
And I may want you
But I could never ever need you like you do

Our broken hearts lay bleeding
On the sharp rocks of our sorrows
I should have known then
You'd never be mine to
Have and hold

So I spend these days and nights
Thinking about us
Holding on's an art-form I detest
I spend these days and nights thinking about us
How holding on's an art-form I detest

The message was I love you
And I really really care
And I may want you
But I could never ever need you like you do

The message was I love you
And I really really care
And I may want you
But I could never ever need you like you do

The message was I love you
And I really really care
And I may want you
But I could never ever need you like you do
