Carrie Underwood — What Can I Say

[Verse 1: Carrie Underwood] Piercing words, eyes are red Watched your tail lights in the rain Empty heart filled with regret I know we were both to blame [Pre-Chorus: Carrie Underwood] And I'm not sorry that it's over But for the way we let it end So I said all I had to say In letters that I threw away [Chorus: Carrie Underwood] And you should know, please believe me I've picked up the phone a thousand times And tried to dial your number But it's been so long, it's never easy It's like trying to spin the world the other way What can I say? [Verse 2: Ashley Clark with Carrie Underwood] How did it come to this? I think about you all the time It's no excuse, but I wish That I never made you cry [Pre-Chorus: Ashley Clark with Carrie Underwood] I'm not sorry that it's over But for the way we let it end I couldn't find the words to say [Chorus: Carrie Underwood, Ashley Clark, Both] And you should know, please believe me I've picked up the phone a thousand times And tried to dial your number But it's been so long, it's never easy It's like trying to spin the world the other way So what can I say? What can I say? What can I say? What can I say? [Verse 3: Carrie Underwood & Ashley Clark] I hate to think all you had of me (I said all I had to say) Is a memory I left you The space between what was meant to be (In letters that I threw away) And the mess that it turned into [Chorus: Carrie Underwood, Ashley Clark, Both] And you should know, please believe me I've picked up the phone a thousand times And tried to dial your number But it's been so long, it's never easy It's like trying to spin the world the other way It is like trying to spin the world the other way What can I say? What can I say? What can I say?
