I wish there was something just to keep my heart at ease
And if there were a better way for me to say
anything and everything then I'd start
You're not gonna' be alone, I will be right by your side
In my arms you can confide, I'm telling you no lie

Your life could be cut short
and anything less than the best would surely be unfair
You ask how I know; I've been there once before
and never told a soul; I kept it to myself

I'm sick of the he said, she said
Once more and I'll go crazy
I'm sick of the monkey see, monkey do

It's hard to say what's happened to us
It's been a long time since I've been true to the ones I love,
and it starts with you

I wish there were a better view of the times I spent with you
And we can say it could've been (and it should've been)
easier if we had just been blunt
You're not gonna' be alone, I will be right by your side
In my arms you can confide, I'm telling you no lie

Your life could be cut short
and anything less than the best would surely be unfair
You ask how I know; I've been there once before
and never told a soul; I kept it to myself

I'm sick of the he said, she said
Once more and I'll go crazy
I'm sick of the monkey see, monkey do

It's hard to say what's happened to us
It's been a long time since I've been true to the ones I love,
and it starts with you

Well I was never wrong, and you were never right;
let's take the long way home tonight
You see we're getting lost inside of what we know;
I guess it only goes to show:
The best times are the ones left unsaid
We've cut around the core once again,
and I'm tied to the end
