• Baby, don't cry, I know,
    That you'll keep on going
    No matter if its loathing
    and I understand that I
    I can't keep hoping
    I can't keep hoping that I'll change again someday
    And why, why must we know this?
    Why must we live this and be slaves?
    The night keeps on calling
    And I know its haunting
    Whenever I say "Baby we can't keep going this way"
    But, whenever you stop crying,
    Maybe thats never
    Two birds of a feather cannot sleep
    Without, knowing we're slowing
    Knowing we're going to be okay
    But I say its never enough to
    To keep us, moving through the rythem of our life
    And it kills me every day to say
    We might not make it
    Just hold on and take it
    Wherever we go
    So don't pretend like your alone at night
    I'm right there by your side
    (I know he's there and I can't keep on loving him this way)
    Your probably with other men, starin and makin' eyes
    (While across the room he stares)
    And if I can just get the nerve to ask
    Ask you to dance
    You'll probably say yes
    (God, I'll say yes)
    And these words
    Have never been easier to say
    After you were away
    (For all those years I'm gone)
    Maybe I'm just your second guess
    (I'll say yes)
    But I guess
    I can't live without you
    Without you I'll be never again
    Every day I cry
    We're poor and barely alive
    I quit my job today
    Just so I can say
    (Please don't be too mad at me)
    Please don't be too mad at me
    I remember back growing up
    We'd play, we'd stay out all damn day
    But now your leavin me
    But I must be good for somthin
    Or else you'd never stayed this long
    But what that good is I don't even know yet
    I guess I haven't found it yet
    But I really need it
    But please don't pretend like your alone tonight
    The last night we're together
    I'm always here and
    (I know he's there and)
    You've probably found another man to love
    (I can't just yet miss you)
    Your probably sitting there, making eyes
    (From across the room he stares)
    And if I could just find the nerve to walk the floor
    I'd finnaly ask you to dance
    (And I'd say yes)
    But I'll sit here waiting
    And these words have never been so easy to say
    (Goodbye, I'm leaving you today)
    I guess I'm just her second guess
    But I guess
    I'm good for something
    But I havent found it
    And now she's gone, I guess I don't need it
    So now, where do I go from here?
    (Your voice is so distant now)
    I miss those lips that make me fly
    But now, I'm havin dreams of his lips on your cheek
    Oh god how I miss that
    (I'll never ask him to dance)
    I'll never ask anyone to dance
    No, not ever again
    (Because your the only one I'll miss)
    Oh how I respected you
    (Because I still respect you, even though I'm gone)
    And we both know that I'm not strong enough
    To hold my ground, I sit down and I just cry, so
    Why, Why should I live, I'll just go die
    (I can't live like this, I gotta go back to him)
    So I just died, and this is my letter
    So baby, don't cry I know
    That you'll keep going
    Thats one thing I couldn't do
    Baby, If you are here
    Your reading my letter
    So please do much better
    Or else my work is all for nothing
    And p.s. please don't leave my front door
    Until you confront the lord
    To let you speak to me
    So that I may tell you to sleep
    So soundly in my arms
    Every night before bed
    I left the tear stains on the paper
    Probably dry by now
    But just know they are there
    So you know I cared
