If you're askin if I care,
well the answer is yes.
If you want to know how much,
more than all the rest.

Do I wan't to be together?
The answer is I do.
I know what it's like to hurt,
and that I will not put you through.

I told you love is pointless,
I told you it brings pain.
And if I try again and fail,
I know I'll go insane.

I won't bother to try,
more pain I cannot take.
Another ounce of pressure,
and my spirit will surely break.

And if my spirit breaks,
I'll lose the will to live.
I'd have to leave you then,
and hope you can forgive.

You you're hurting too,
I see that in your eyes.
Yet still you put me first,
and that makes you different from other guys.

Now I'm putting you first,
I refuse to break your heart.
Give it to someone who deserves it,
and won't rip your life apart.

Don't tell me that I won't,
because I always do.
Sadness fills your eyes,
and it's breakin me in two.

I want you to be happy,
no matter what the cost.
I cannot pull you through,
when I myself am lost.
