i can't write a word without hearing what you'd say
i can't speak my mind without giving it away
can this last
can i go on without it
will i worry forever
if i'm bright enough
for someone
for someone
ah ah ah
nothing that i say is verbatim anyway
i don't really think things through completely every day
i don't say the kinds of things that make you want to stay
can this last
could you go on without me
will i worry forever
if i'm bright enough
for someone
for someone
for someone
ah ah ah
all you thought you knew:
you don't have a clue
all you thought you loved
don't belong to you
everything i do somehow derived from what you do
when i read the news i am besieged by your point of view
all the worlds i thought were mine had faults i never knew
who was i before i just became a part of you?
can this last
could i go on without you
will i wonder forever
if i'm strong enough
for someone
for someone
for someone
for someone
ah ah ah
