If I could lyrics

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 this silence just won't do me any good

and I want to beg you, beg you, beg you to believe me...

I'd tell you if I could,

I'd tell you if I could.
