Maybe hell touch me, maybe he wont
Maybe hes just turning over
Feeling the words drying up in my throat
Maybe hes sleeping, maybe hes not
Maybe I whisper I love you
Maybe the whisper is all that Ive got

Could this be heaven, could this be hell
Lying asleep with a stranger
The strangers the man that I once knew so well
Lying in darkness, lying so still
Why do we lie to each other?
Pretending the things will work out until ...

Chorus:

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and over and over and ...

Once there was loving, then there was love
Two people wrapped in each other
Now separate shadows on the ceiling - no more
Then there was screaming, yelling and fights - over and over and over
Now the silence in this silent night .... aaawh

Chorus

Now wont you listen please
Oh, dont pretend that youre asleep
It seems like such an empty bed
Its over, its over, its over, its over ...

Communication lets us down
It just went over and out
Communication gets us down
It just went over and out

Repeat chorus twice

Communication
