We've had repeat phone conversations
where no one says a word
and we could stay in this a long time
but all that it would do is make it worse

tell me what you want me to say
or what to do
it might console you but that
doesn't make it true
i know you lie to yourself
i won't lie to you
a broken heart won't mend unless
you want it to

it's been too long since you have witnessed
the darling buds of may
and if the seasons change then why can't we?
cause things were never meant to stay the same

oh tell me what you want me to say
tell me what to do
it might console you but that
doesn't make it true
i know you lie to yourself
i won't lie to you
a broken heart won't mend unless
you can see the darling buds of may
all the darling buds of may
