As I sit in this coffee shop  Halfway through your note, I had to stop  Right near the end, the letter read    Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty  Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story  You'll accept just half of all these consequences  Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry    Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why    She called me up the other day  And thank god I knew exactly what to say  You left me with this note and I quote from this note you wrote    Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty  Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story  You'll accept just half of all these consequences  Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry    Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why  Why didn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why  Why didn't you, why didn't I    Maybe when I leave I'll lead a life less empty  Maybe we were waiting way too long to end this soap opera story  You'll accept just half of all these consequences  Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry  Whyd idn't you, why didn't I, why couldn't we, I wonder why  Maybe then that's when I'll finally say I'm sorry  Whyd didn't you, why didn't I
