once love walked out the door   I gave it all and it took some more   and now I find it hard to see   that you could make me feel this free   but you do and that scares me   ‘cause when I trust you   that’s all I can bare   and my wall comes crashing down   and all I’ve got is this silent sound      will you love me when I make you cry   will you love me if I ask you why   will you love me when I get old   will you love me when I don’t even know      ‘cause I’m doing the best that I can   yes I’m doing the best that I can   and if I’m doing the best that I can   I know it’s a matter of time   I’ll get it right      I know your expectations are high   and maybe they should   I know you’re looking to be inspired   I try so hard, baby I do      sometimes I hide in the past   ‘cause it’s so hard to change   will you hurt me after I give you   my stars on a silver chain      will you love me when I make you cry   will you love me if I ask you why   will you love me when I get old   will you love me when I don’t even know      ‘cause I’m doing the best that I can   yes I’m doing the best that I can   and if I’m doing the best that I can   I know it’s a matter of time   I’ll get it right      I can’t explain my laughter   but I sure feel the pain   when I see you crying   I know I’m the one to blame      ‘cause I’m doing the best that I can   yes I’m doing the best that I can   and if I’m doing the best that I can   I know it’s a matter of time   I’ll get it right
