Now the downstrokes and the upstrokes
Are playing a hoax on me
They want me to forget the reasons
I'm to write some pages of hokum
That's weird
I just want to know what i'm feelin
Deep inside
I won't fill the blanks 'cause tonight
I've found another reason to write
I'll push my restraint on bypass
Before you left me all alone
And die a last time in a lovely sigh
Now the downstrokes and the upstrokes
Don't mean anything for me
When the words don't want to get out
That i know the whys and wherefores
I can feel a bit dismissed
I just want you to stand by me
Don't go home tonight
It's quite hard enough to express
Even harder to open my heard
[Chorus]
Are playing a hoax on me
They want me to forget the reasons
I'm to write some pages of hokum
That's weird
I just want to know what i'm feelin
Deep inside
I won't fill the blanks 'cause tonight
I've found another reason to write
I'll push my restraint on bypass
Before you left me all alone
And die a last time in a lovely sigh
Now the downstrokes and the upstrokes
Don't mean anything for me
When the words don't want to get out
That i know the whys and wherefores
I can feel a bit dismissed
I just want you to stand by me
Don't go home tonight
It's quite hard enough to express
Even harder to open my heard
[Chorus]
