The neighbor next door just barely
Say good mornin'
The boys down at work didnt ask me
To stop for a beer
I guess they heard 'bout me and you
Nothin' spreads like real bad news
'Cause the silence is loud and clear

refrain:
Nobody knows what to say
They just stare at their shoes
And make up an excuse to turn and walk away
Nobody knows what to say
'Cause you just don't up and lose
The love of a lifetime everyday
Since you took your love away
Nobody knows what to say

We were the ones everyone said would last forever
We had the kind of love people talked about
Ever since you said goodbye
They don't wanna see a grown man cry
So my world's awful quiet now

refrain
