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....
