Lyrics
DON?T HIT SEND
Words and music by Stephen Amos
WELL I?M WRITING YOU THIS EMAIL CHECKING IT LINE BY LINE,
BECAUSE I SAW YOU OUT LAST NIGHT,
HUGGIN?ON A FRIEND OF MINE,
AND I KNOW I?VE BEEN WRONG IN THE PAST,
AND SOMETHINGS WE SAY WE CAN?T TAKE BACK,
YEAH BUT,
THIS TIME I BELIEVE I?M RIGHT,
I?M MAD AS HELL AND I?M JUSTIFIED,
I THINK I?LL JUST TAKE YOUR ADVICE,
AND TELL YOU HOW I FEEL INSIDE,
BUT THERE?S THIS VOICE INSIDE MY HEAD,
TELLING ME TIME AND AGAIN,
THAT UNLESS I WANT TO SEE IT END,
DON?T HIT SEND OH NO,
(OPTIONAL ADD IN 2ND/3RD CHORUS: ?I BETTER NOT?)
DON?T HIT SEND,
I?VE BEEN POUNDING ON THIS KEYBOARD SEEMS LIKE ALL NIGHT LONG,
YEAH I?VE HAD A DRINK OR TWO,
BUT THAT DON?T MAKE MY FEELINGS WRONG,
YOU?VE TOLD ME I JUST MAKE THINGS UP,
AND THIS LIFE?S ALREADY HARD ENOUGH,
CHORUS
I?VE BEEN SITTING HERE ALONE,
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO FINALLY LET IT GO,
CHORUS
