And For A Sec I Thought I Sounded Sweet, But Sure Enough....

Is this, and will this be, the story of the rest of my life?

I don't know.

--------

I could stay awhile
But sooner or later I'll break your smile
And I can tell a joke
But one of these days I'm bound to choke
And we might start to kiss
But I feel like I can't go through with this
And I bet we could build a home
But I know the right thing for me to do is to leave you alone

I'm beginning to like you
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do.
I'm walking away from you
It probably don't make no sense to you.
But I'm trying to save you
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do.

You'll probably call me a fool
And say I'm doing exactly what a coward would do.
And I'm beginning to like you
It's a shame, what a lame way to live
But what can I do?

Well I hope you appreciate what I do...
I'm a martyr for my love for you.
