She wrote to me and said in a letter That she wanted to see if she could do better She thought that she could if I only I'd let her And that's where she stood for worse or for better And I couldn't argue 'cause deep down I knew As much as it pained me, well, I felt it too
And, oh, my love, we've got to be more careful in the future And, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and let it out
Yesterday I found a picture of me When I was a baby and I was to be A man with no home Adrift in the sea No plan of his own So careless and free It makes me sad but then deep down I know That all is not lost and there's still room to grow
And, oh, my love, we've got to be more careful in the future And, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and get it out
We could be lovers or we could be friends Smother each other, but that's how it ends Could be the wrong words that mean everything Like two lonely songbirds that don't want to sing And it's hard to swallow but deep down inside I know that it's true and can't be denied
And, oh, my love, we've got to be more careful in the future And, oh, how much it helps to talk about it and let it out
And I'm so proud of the way we face the truth about our future And, so, my love, what will we do without it Do without it
