The Writing on the Wall Lyrics

The writing's on the subway wall
I'm sorry that I never called
I, I never phoned
Or wrote to you
It's silly 'cause
I wanted to

Oh yes, the subway wall
Sadly seems to say it all
It's my mistake, I know that now
A bit too late to cry...

You're somewhere else
With someone else
And here am I, all by myself
An empty wall, and empty me
I write the things that should've been

I tell the world how much I care
And miss the one
That isn't there
OH - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall
OH - The writing on the wall....

The writing's on the subway wall
And give or take a year or so
Someone will come
And rub it out
Delete the words
That hurt my heart

Oh yes, there will remain
A little hurt, a little stain
The memory can still be read
Upon the wall
Inside my head

OH - The writing on the wall
(right on)
Oh - The writing on the wall
