Tip Of My Tongue Lyrics - John Hiatt

An empty house 

Is the only thing standin' 

Between our lives 

And the speed of sound 

Some words flew out 

And made a crash landin' 

No love survived 

Not a trace could be found 

CHORUS: 

I broke your heart 

With the back of my mind 

From the tip of my tongue 

To the end of the line

I walked away 

And you stood there tremblin' 

Like a leaf 

In the autumn chill 

Now this house won't say, no 

What I'm still rememberin' 

Three angry words 

And a love that they killed 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE: 

You couldn't say how much it hurt you 

And I couldn't see the damage I'd done 

'Til I watched the greatest love I've known 

All come down to a slip of the tongue 

Well I'd take it back 

But time won't let me 

No, time just takes 

You further away 

Photos 

I watched you pack 

A house full of memories 

Where did you go 

Lord, what did I say? 

CHORUS
