Darling, when you sit up and stare all night

I get the feeling that something ain't right

My heart starts to beat on my drum-tight skin

I just wanna kick it in

I know you start weeping when you think that I'm sleeping

I know you know that you just can't win

But I'll try my best

You know Honey I swear I will



Darling, you pretend to sleep but I know it's a lie

This bed is wet from the tears you cry

I lie there frustrated, don't know what to do

Sometimes I can't get through to you

I know you can't explain what's giving you pain

And you just can't contain all your blues

But I'll try my best

You know that I have sworn I will



   So now If you wanna come out and talk about it

   I'll try to understand

   If you wanna yell it, scream it, please shout it

   And I'll try to understand

   But for now you know I just can't stand

   To see this sand

   Slipping out of my hand



Darling, when you just can't take it anymore

Shout it out, now, tell me what you're crying for

Don't let it rage inside, that won't help you none

Be like staring into the barrel of a loaded gun

I will help you feel more self-assured

And even if it cuts to the core

I'll try to take it like a man

Yeah, I'll try my best

Honey I swear I will



   So now if you wanna come out and talk about it

   I'll try to understand

   If you wanna yell it, scream it, please shout it

   And I'll try to understand

   But for now you know I just can't stand

   To see this sand

   Slipping out of my hand
