Writer’s Retreat!

[Verse 1]
When you get back from the writers retreat, I won’t be waiting
When you head out to the shack in the woods, I won’t be there
I won’t be lying beside your pool
I won’t be watching the world turn blue
Because I’m already gone

[Chorus]
You can get a beat from a broken heart
You could write the book while falling apart
You can have it all save the one you want
Going for a song

[Verse 2]
Did you have nothing to do on this fine afternoon but to write?
But you’ve got nothing today so you crank out another screenplay
About a writer without ideas
And her lover she pushes away when he gets too near

[Chorus]
You can get a beat from a broken heart
You could write the book while falling apart
You can have it all save the one you want
Going for a song

[Bridge]
Who did you meet at the writers retreat?
Where did you sleep at the writers retreat?
What did you write at the writers retreat?
You wanna play the crying game
I don't wanna hear the crying game

[Chorus]
You can get a beat from a broken heart
You could write the book while falling apart
You can have it all save the one you want
Going for a song
