I don't ever want to pretend
 That maybe this life won't hold you again?

 Baby we don't know
 Baby we don't show
 But I can't make you understand
 And I can't be the better man
 So I don't see the summer gone
 And I don't feel your heart and soul
 And I won't be the one you love
 'Cause your whole world has got to stop

 Cut down by a flower
 Cuttin' me down with love
 Holdin' me off this drug
 Holdin' me off this drug
 Cuttin' us each down with love
