The writing's on the subway wall I'm sorry that I never called I, I never phoned or wrote to you It's silly 'cause I wanted to
Oh yes, the subway wall sadly seems to say it all It's my mistake, I know that now a bit too late to cry...
You're somewhere else with someone else and here am I, all by myself An empty wall, and empty me I write the things that should've been
I tell the world how much I care and miss the one that isn't there OH - The writing on the wall OH - The writing on the wall OH - The writing on the wall OH - The writing on the wall....
The writing's on the subway wall and give or take a year or so someone will come and rub it out delete the words that hurt my heart
Oh yes, there will remain a little hurt, a little stain the memory can still be read upon the wall inside my head
OH - The writing on the wall (right on) Oh - The writing on the wall OH - The writing on the wall (write on) Oh - The writing on the wall OH - The writing on the wall....
