Keith Totton - Who Were You Singin To

Keith Totton

Who Were You Singin To

All underlined words are spoken.

Verse 1
She asked me why.
I write songs that make her cry.
And why do I sing them that way?
Is it because of someone from another day?
She thought she saw tears when I sang that leavin song.
There’s no way to convince her this time she’s wrong.
I know what’s coming when this set is through.
She’ll ask me. Who were you singing to.

Chorus
Who were you singin to when you closed your eyes?
Were you singing to me or telling me lies?
Were all those words a code or a verse?
To tell her you’re thinking of her.
So tell me the truth do I really know you?
Now tell me who were you singing to?

Verse 2
She sits and listens to each note I’m playin.
But if my eyes water it don’t mean I’m feelin pain.
It’s no good to tell her it’s just another song.
And the memories of another are long gone.
Why would I lie I could just walk away?
And not have to think about my yesterdays.
Why can’t she believe me she knows I’ve been true?
But I know she’ll still ask who were you singing to?

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

Maybe I should just tell her to go.
I don’t want to hurt her I love her I know.
She won’t believe that I’ve never lied.
When I try to talk about it all she does is cry.

Chorus
Who were you singin to when you closed your eyes?
Were you singin to me or telling me lies?
Were all those words a code or a verse?
To tell her you’re thinking of her.
So tell me the truth do I really know you?
Now tell me, who were you singin to?
C’mon now please tell me.
Who were you singin to?
