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
