| You must be crazy to stay here,
|
| and I’ll be crazy when you go;
|
| though there’s so much I want to tell you
|
| all the words come out too slow.
|
| I’ve been locked in my problems,
|
| you seemed prepared to wait…
|
| now that I know I’m going to lose you
|
| all the words come out too late.
|
| There’s no promise I can give you
|
| that you wouldn’t know was fake;
|
| though I just want to be with you,
|
| there’s no show that I can make.
|
| And in the morning, when I wake and find you dressing
|
| I can tell that it’s on your mind to go for good;
|
| I know that all this time I’ve kept you guessing,
|
| but I’d tell you if I could.
|
| If I now said that I loved you
|
| how would that seem in your eyes?
|
| Oh, may my voice fall into silence
|
| if my words turn out to be lies.
|
| I never meant to hurt you,
|
| even though that’s what I do —
|
| even though you might not believe this
|
| all my words were meant for you.
|
| There’s no promise I can give you
|
| that you wouldn’t know was fake;
|
| though I just want to be with you,
|
| there’s no show that I can make.
|
| And in the evening, when we sit and watch the TV
|
| I know that all this silence just won’t do me any good
|
| and I want to beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me…
|
| oh, I’d tell you if I could,
|
| I’d tell you if I could.
|
| You know, you know, you know she’s going to leave you,
|
| You know, you know, you know she’s going to go,
|
| You know, you know, you know she’s going to leave you.
|
| I’d tell you if I could. |
