Lyrics

I sure do wish that I could stay awhile
But it seems like we are losing all control.
And I wish that you wouldn?t look at me that way
?Cuz your eyes are gonna haunt me where ever I go.

`See, I never could express my inner feelings very well
But I suppose that now?s the time when I should try -
And if you thought this was ?heaven? -
Honey, don?t show me ?hell??
You know I never wanted to make you cry.

You don?t know what I?ve been goin? through
Or the reasons why I really cannot stay?
You?re the last boy that I?d ever want to hurt
And that?s why I simply have to go away.

You see I never could express my inner feelings very well
And honey, I don?t wanna have to try to now -
But if bein? with me is like heaven for you -
I guess I?d better tell you:

It?s killin? me, but baby -
You?re gonna find somebody else someday
And you never really knew me very well.

So just pick up all the little, broken pieces of your heart?
Forgettin? that you ever knew my name,
Well that?s a real fine way to start?.

You may think that this is ?love?, but baby, it?ll do us in?
And if I were to end up hangin? around
Neither one of us is gonna win.

I sure do wish that I could stay awhile
But it seems like we are losing all control.
And I wish that you wouldn?t look at me that way
?Cuz your eyes are gonna haunt me where ever I go.
You see I never could express my inner feelings very well
And honey, I don?t wanna have to try to now -
But if bein? with me is like heaven for you -
I guess I?d better tell you:
It?s killin? me, but baby -
You?re gonna find somebody else someday
And you never really knew me very well.
