That¡¯s Not What I Said

(Anita Cochran/Victoria Shaw)
That¡¯s not what I said but if that¡¯s what you heard
Then you didn¡¯t hear one single word
We¡¯re so far apart, something is missing
It makes it hard when no one is listening
I say black, you say white
I say day, you say night
We don¡¯t talk anymore without keeping score
I say I need time, all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that¡¯s what you heard
That¡¯s not what I said
Not long ago, there was a time
We were so close that you read my mind
Now things that we say end up being hurtful
Lately it seems we go ¡®round in circles
I say black, you say white
I say day, you say night
We don¡¯t talk anymore without keeping score
I say I need time, all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that¡¯s what you heard
That¡¯s not what I said
Let¡¯s lay down our gloves, pay attention to love
It doesn¡¯t matter who¡¯s right
Or who¡¯s wrong
If we don¡¯t change baby it just keeps going on and on
I say black, you say white
I say day, you say night
We don¡¯t talk anymore without keeping score
I say I need time, all you hear is goodbye in your head
If that¡¯s what you heard
