verse 1
She wrote to me and said in a 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
Chorus
And oh my love
We?ve got to be more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
Let it out
verse 2
Yesterday I found a picture of me
When I was a baby and I was to be
A man with no home adrift 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
Chorus
And oh my love
We?ve got to be more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
Get it out
Solo
verse 3
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
Chorus
Oh my love
We?ve got to be more careful
In the future
And oh how much
It helps to talk about it
Let it out
And I?m so proud of
The way we face the truth
About our future
And so my love
What will we do without it?
Do without it?
Fade Out
