[Verse 1]
Hey, you know that I've been searching deep inside
And I'm not certain I will like the things I find
I don't know that you will understand, but I have tried

[Verse 2]
I don't know just why I need to do the things I do
And I'd love to do these things without them hurting you
I don't know that you will understand, but that's the truth

[Verse 3]
I'd give it up for you, but let me finish what I've got
I'd love to now, but, lord, you know it sure does take a lot
I'll always love you, honey, but I can't be what I'm not
