[Verse 1]
By the time you hear this song, I'll be gone
You can't sing along, so don't try
No, don't try
Don't try, don't try

[Hook]
You could leave it out of earshot
I'd whisper that you're mine
Or you could stay and hang around
We'll wither on a vine

[Verse 2]
I try to say the things that I can't say, so nevermind
I know it seems, sometimes, it seems as though I never try
But don't cry
But don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

[Hook]
You could leave it out of earshot
I'd whisper that you're mine
If you could stay and hang around
We'll wither on a vine
And my love, it comes so easily, but easy don't last long
It it's right where it needs to be, then where did it go wrong?
Oh, I don't know why
I know I loved you
