[Verse 1]
Sometimes when I look at you
Your thoughts seem very far away
Your voice on the telephone sounds strange
[Verse 2]
Now when we’re alone together
I just feel like I’m alone
I can’t help think something must have changed
[Chorus]
So if you’re trying to be kind to me
I think I’d rather know what’s on your mind
[Verse 3]
When u used to look at me
And say that you would always love me
Know I used to hope that it might be
[Verse 4]
But I don’t want your roses
That you give me with a guilty simile
And I don’t want a heart that isn’t free
[Chorus]
So if you’re trying to be kind to me
I think I’d rathеr know what’s on your mind
[Verse 5]
And you look into my eyes
Forget about your prеtty lies
And tell me what it was you came to say
[Verse 6]
Cause if there’s something I should know
Then I would rather know it now
When I still have the strength to walk away
[Chorus]
So if you’re trying to be kind to me
I think I’d rather know what’s on your mind
[Chorus]
So if you’re trying to be kind to me
I think I’d rather know what’s on your mind
