not cry

love song

I can say things in ways you would understand
but then you would know what plagues the man
what freezes my thoughts inside the pen
these naked emotions I cannot defend
if I said it and things didnt change
everytime i'd see you i'd feel so ashamed
but for all of my macho, good sense and bravery
the truths in life they level me
what am I gonna do that I wont screw up
what am I gonna say to define my love
can I just start over
can it just be over
can I ever say I love you and not cry
what if you never see just how I look at you
what if you never know what song applies to you
can I just start over
can it just be over
can I ever say I love you and not cry

circa 1990
