"You Have One New Message" lyrics

J, there are no more words
Except the ones that will hurt
I know this isn't the right way to do it
But your answering machine
Won't try to stop me
It won't beg on it's knees, it won't bargain, won't plead
It will let me speak

We can't go on like this
We can't go on like this
We can't go on like this
We can't go on like this

J, this is the end
But it's not the end
It's just where something new has to begin
You weren't wrong
But you weren't right
You were the right set of lyrics
Set to the wrong melody line
Sweet J

We can't go on like this
We can't go on like this
We can't go on like this
We can't go on like this

Don't watch when I cry
Avert your eyes
As I walk out the door
Don't call or reply
The number you've dialed
Is not in service no more
