She wrote to me and said in the letter
That she wanted to see if she could do better
She thought that she could if only I'd let her
And that's where she stood for worse or for better
And I couldn't argue 'cause deep down I knew
As much as it pained me, well I felt it too
And oh my love
We've got to more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
And let it out
Yesterday I found a picture of me
When I was a baby and I was to be
A man with no home, a drift in the sea
No plan of his own so careless and free
And it makes me sad but then deep down I know
That all is not lost and there's still room to grow
And oh my love
We've got to more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
And get it out
We could be lovers or we could be friends
Smother each other, but that's how it ends
Could be the wrong words that mean everything
Like two lonely songbirds that don't wanna sing
And it's hard to swallow but deep down inside
I know that it's true and it can't be denied
And oh my love
We've got to more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
And let it out
And I'm so proud of
The way we faced the truth
About our future
And so my love
What will we do without it
Do without it
