You Call Yourself a Writer

You told me yourself you were a writer
You followed every line and theme right through
I never suspected I was a one nighter
But there was this line - I'm gonna keep it for you

'Cause you let it go, you let that line go
You let it go, and you call yourself a writer
You let it go, you let that line go
You let it go - I'm gonna keep it for you

Some people think you're quite amazing
They heard you do your songs on radio
But somewhere in that sweet there's bitter tasting
'Cause down; deep inside you know that somebody knows

'Cause you let it go, you let that line go
You let it go, and you call yourself a writer
You let it go, you let that line go
You let it go - I'm gonna keep it for you

I'm gonna play it out loud, I'm gonna do it one more time
I'm gonna do it my show, I want the world to know

It just takes one night to make a reputation
It just takes one lie to break a heart
And it just takes one line to make a song sing
But you let it go, I want the world to know - you let it go

So let me pose this question while you're posing
Let me wonder why - that's what I do
I saw you open your eyes while mine were closing
Did you take it all down from your point of view

Or did you let it go, you let that line go
You let it go, and you call yourself a writer
You let it go, you let that line go
You let it go - I'm gonna keep it for you

I'm gonna play it out loud, I'm gonna do it one more time
I'm gonna do it my show, I want the world to know

It just takes one night to make a reputation
It just takes one lie to break a heart
And it just takes one line to make a song sing
But you let it go, I want the world to know - you let it go
