i -

i'll try to be better

tomorrow, c

for you

(if that's what you'd like to hear)

i'll try to be better

and if that means i don't tell you if i'm hurt

i'll do it

i just don't want to hurt you

(and i'll do just about anything)

and i know you told me

that it would hurt if i were gone

and if i didn't tell you about the hurt

i might be gone

and that's really scary

because i don't know which will

hurt you worse

but, goodness, i don't want to make you leave

should i not tell you? and leave?

it would hurt you so, as you say

should i tell you? and make you walk on tacks everytime you speak?

it would hurt you; but it would hurt me worse

if you decided to leave, that is

what would i do?

i think i'd have the hardest time

trying to stay

i'm not sure what i should do

but i'll start by telling you these things

and hope for the best

but expect the worst

i don't know if i'm all right,

but i think i'll try

if it makes her happy

i'll do my best to stay
