If I Could

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
And in the morning, when I wake and find you dressing (You know she's going to go)
I can tell that it's on your mind to go for good; (You always knew she would)
Oh, I know that all this time I've kept you guessing (Awful, awful)
But I'd tell you if I could (That's just no good, that's just no good)

[Verse 2]
Oh, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
And in the evening, when we sit and watch the TV (You know she's going to go)
Oh, I know that this silence just won't do me any good (You always knew she would)
I wanna to beg you, beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me... (Awful, awful)
I'd tell you if I could (You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know she's going to leave you)
I'd tell you if I could (You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know she's going to go)
I'd tell you if I could (You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know she's going to leave you)
I'd tell you if I could
