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. | |
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. | |
And in the morning, when I wake and find you dressing | |
I can tell that it's on your mind to go for good; | |
I know that all this time I've kept you guessing, | |
but I'd tell you if I could. | |
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. | |
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. | |
And in the evening, when we sit and watch the TV | |
I know that all this silence just won't do me any good | |
and I want to beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me... | |
oh, I'd tell you if I could, | |
I'd tell you if I could. | |
You know, you know, you know she's going to leave you, | |
You know, you know, you know she's going to go, | |
You know, you know, you know she's going to leave you. | |
I'd tell you if I could. |
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. | |
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. | |
And in the morning, when I wake and find you dressing | |
I can tell that it' s on your mind to go for good | |
I know that all this time I' ve kept you guessing, | |
but I' d tell you if I could. | |
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. | |
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. | |

I know that all this silence just won' t do me any good | |
and I want to beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me... | |
oh, I' d tell you if I could, | |
I' d tell you if I could. | |
You know, you know, you know she' s going to leave you, | |
You know, you know, you know she' s going to go, | |
You know, you know, you know she' s going to leave you. | |
I' d tell you if I could. |
You must be crazy to stay here, | |

You know, you know, you know she' s going to leave you. | |
