Half the Alphabet

Verse 1

She looked me in the eyes and said it's time to leave

Packed up my things, pulled her hand from my sleeve

Told me I had to go home, that her time with me was done

Like a game she was playing, and she'd already won

Chorus

I said, "Why?"

Looking for a reason, looking for a sign

I said, "Why?"

Trying to make sense of what was on her mind

She just looked right through me, cold as can be

And she said L M N O and P

Post-Chorus

L M N O and P

L M N O and P

Verse 2

No long explanations, no tears in her eyes

Just a handful of letters to cover her lies

I stood at the doorway, searching for more

As she turned around and walked away from the door

Pre-Chorus

Counting down the alphabet, running out of grace

Watching her silhouette vanish from the place

Chorus

I said, "Why?"

Looking for a reason, looking for a sign

I said, "Why?"

Trying to make sense of what was on her mind

She just looked right through me, cold as can be

And she said L M N O and P

Post-Chorus

L M N O and P

L M N O and P

Bridge

Five little letters, half the story untold

Silver tongue without the silver

A heart that turned to cold

Maybe I should thank her for the rhyme

At least she gave me something

Something to rewind

Chorus

I said, "Why?"

Looking for a reason, looking for a sign

I said, "Why?"

Trying to make sense of what was on her mind

She just looked right through me, cold as can be

And she said L M N O and P

Post-Chorus

L M N O and P

L M N O and P
