  • When you wake up
    Turn the radio on
    And you'll hear this simple song
    That I made up
    That I made up for you

    When you're driving
    Turn the radio up
    Cause I can't sing loud enough
    Hard these days
    To get my message through

    If time is all I have
    I'll waste it all on you

    Each day I'll turn it back
    It's what the broken-hearted do
    I'm tired of talking to an empty space
    Of silences keeping me awake

    When you marry
    And you look around
    I'll be somewhere in that crowd
    Torn up, that it isn't me

    When you're older
    And the memories fade
    But I know I'll still feel the same
    For as long as I live

    But if time is all I have
    I'll waste it all on you

    Each day I'll turn it back
    It's what the broken-hearted do
    I'm tired of talking to an empty space
    Of silences keeping me awake

    Won't you say my name, one time
    Please just say my name

    But if time is all I have
    I'll waste it all on you
    Each day I'll turn it back
    It's what the broken-hearted do
    I'm tired of talking to an empty space
    Of silences keeping me awake

    If time is all I have
    I'll waste it all on you

    Each day I'll turn it back
    It's what the broken-hearted do
    I'm tired of talking to an empty space
    Of silences keeping me awake

    Won't you say my name
