I can, I can only whisper (Whisper) I can only cry tonight I wish I was with her Yeah, we'd be getting by tonight Instead I'm laying here by myself, yeah Just thinking 'bout the way that it felt, yeah She was there when nobody else Could make out the words in my mouth I can only whisper (Only, only whisper) Now I can only cry tonight I wish I was with her (Only, only, only) Yeah, we'd be gettin' by tonight But here, the poet floats in a well, yeah My words are soakin', coated in braille, yeah I look up at everyone else, oh yeah With everything I wish I could yell I can only whisper (Only, only whisper) Now I can only cry tonight I wish I was with her (Only, only, only) 'Cause we'd be gettin' by tonight I can only whisper (Only whisper) I can only cry tonight (Cry tonight) If I could only see you now, I would be kissin' you so sweetly We'd be gettin' by tonight
