And if she should tell you I love you
I wonder have you heard it before?
and are you getting used to the sound
the sound of a closing door
And if she should tell you I need you
do you wonder if it's really true?
And are you getting used to the sound
The sound of people lying to you.
And if she should tell you I love you
Will you colour your life a rosy red?
only to find out much too late
that she really wishes you were dead.
I look into your eyes
I can see a smile
I sit and stare
while you just rock awhile
I know that you can't talk
or say whether you're ill or well
but your eyes say more
than you lips could ever tell
I sit and watch you stare
at all the new and curious things
What is it that you think about?
Do you care what tomorrow brings?
yet, still I gaze at you with awe
I watch you for a while
and even in the deepest dark
I can feel your smile.
You know that when we're apart
I seem to miss you so
and my prayers are with you
everywhere you go
I miss your vibrant laughter
even your complaints
if you ever left me
I'd have to live in wrist restraints
I need you so much
you'll probably never know
just how much I love you
and why I miss you so
Here I am just like yesterday
with my mind in total disarray
I sleep, I eat, I work, I cry
I champion causes, but never say die
Ban the book, save the whales
stop those subs from coming in
stop abortion and prejudice
you need to stop living in sin.
Get up and walk away from me
like everyone else has done
really I wouldn't blame you, dear
if you decide to run
Don't worry yourself about how I feel
you're not the first, that's for sure
It just makes me really wonder
Should I come back for more?
What would it take to tell you?
how can I make you see?
that I am used to being hurt
it's just a part of me
