[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 (You know she's going to go)
Well, I know that it's on your mind to go for good; (You always knew she would)
Oh, I know that all this time I've kept you guessing (Awful, awful)
Oh, but I'd tell you if I could

[Verse 2]
Oh, 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... 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
[Pre-Chorus]
And there's no promise I can give you
That you wouldn't know was fake;
Although I just want to be with you
There's no show that I can make

[Chorus]
And in the evening, when we sit and watch TV
Oh, I know that all this silence just won't do me any good
And I want to beg you, beg you, beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me...
I'd tell you if I could (I'd tell you, I'd tell you if...)
I'd tell you if I could (I'd tell you, I'd tell you if...)
I'd tell you if I could (I'd tell you, I'd tell you if...)
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, 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
