How can I put it simple   In words to which you can relate   I can't just come out and say it   Too stubborn, too filthy, too late      I need to tell you   Before I lose my chance   I need to show you   Just why I'm so lost in this trance      I need to hold you   Before it's too late to hold on   I need to lay beside you   Do things that we both know are wrong      How can I show you   An image so clear it's not there   I already told you   This life that we're living's not fair   Needed to guide you   To places you've never been   But I won't have the chance   Our time and our hope's wearing thin      I need to tell you   Before I lose my chance   I need to show you   Just why I'm so lost in this trance      I need to hold you   Before it's too late to hold on   I need to lay beside you   Do things that we both know are wrong      I need to tell you   Before I lose my chance   I need to show you   Just why I'm so lost in this trance      I need to hold you   Before it's too late to hold on   I need to lay beside you   Do things that we both know are wrong
