[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;
And 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
I can tell this time you're on your way for good
Well, I know that for a very long while I kept you guessing
Oh, but I'd tell you if I could
That's just no good
[Verse 2]
If I now said that I loved you
Oh, 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 I know that's what I do –
Even though you might not believe this
All my words were meant for you
[Pre-Chorus]
And there's no promise I can give you
That you wouldn't know was fake;
And though I just want to be with you
There's no show that I can make
[Chorus]
And in the morning, when we watch TV
I can tell this silence just won't do me any good
And I wanna beg you, beg you, beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me...
I'd tell you if I could
I'd tell you if I could
I'd tell you if I could
You, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know she's gonna leave you
And you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know she's gonna go
Oh, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know she's gonna leave you
Oh, but I'd tell if I could
[Outro]
*Cheers*
